I started as a kennel worker at a practice in Middletown, CT while a teenager. I then moved to Fort Collins, Colorado where I attended Colorado State University. There I earned a Master of Science degree from the Department of Animal Science and my D.V.M. degree from the College of Veterinary Medicine . I have been working at Bristol Veterinary Associates since 1983 and have been a partner since 1990. I enjoy the variety of clinical cases that being a general practitioner presents and I like the challenge of every day practice and the continuing learning process that veterinary medicine offers.
New developments are always on the horizon .
My interests outside of work include working with young people in the Boy Scout program, camping, fishing, hiking, gardening, bird watching and model shipbuilding. My wife and I have two sons, one a sophomore at the University of Connecticut, and the other a junior in high school. And of course we have pets - three cats and a dog so far. My love for the medical sciences is what led me down a circuitous path to becoming a veterinarian. My undergraduate degree was in biology.
