Like
many veterinarians, I decided early in life
(2nd grade) that veterinary medicine was the
career for me. I owned and enjoyed several pets
growing up and enjoyed several years working
at a local vet hospital while in high school.
I graduated from Purdue's Veterinary School
in 1989 and have been practicing small animal
medicine ever since. After working at two practices
as an associate I began to work as a relief
veterinarian (sort of a "substitute teacher"
role, filling in for local vets who were on
vacation or needed part time help) and have
been doing so for the last 14 years.
I began Well Pets in 2000 with the help of a
man named Bill Hart. We realized that a substantial
portion of the pet owning population did not
obtain regular veterinary care for their pets
and rather than ignore these owners, we thought
it better to reach out to them by having clinics
where many of them already shopped for their
pet's food and supplies. Although I had to assume
full ownership of Well Pets early on when Bill
moved to Florida, the idea we began has flourished.
Almost 7 years later, Well Pets has grown from
3 locations to over a dozen and serves pet owners
all around the Indianapolis area. I enjoy Well
Pets because I enjoy people and their pets,
I enjoy getting to know and educate my clients,
I enjoy working with a wonderful team of veterinary
caregivers, and I enjoy serving others. Well
Pets has allowed me to work with all sorts of
different people and hopefully, not only take
care of their pet's basic needs, but also introduce
them to the many wonderful services and benefits
that the more traditional veterinary community
can provide to them and their pets.
Outside
of veterinary medicine, I live in Fishers with
my wife Mary Anne, and our two children, David
and Rebecca, and our 2 dogs and 3 cats. We enjoy
participating in our kids activities, being
involved in our church, having family movie
and game nights, and vacationing at the beach!
