My love for animals, and the desire to work with them has seemed an almost destined course. That recessive gene for "veterinarianism" in my family caught up with me when I was born the same spring my father graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph, ON. My earliest recollections as a child are helping my father with emergency calls where he worked in Calgary. Upon graduating from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1987, I became the fourth generation of veterinarians in my family as my grandfather and great grandfather were also veterinarians in Germany.

 My first job was working at a very busy emergency hospital in Calgary for 16 months. The experience there, dealing with many complex, fast paced cases, was an excellent learning experience. I worked with my father for 2 years, when I returned to Edmonton, where I came to truly appreciate the high level of patient care and customer service at his well respected practice. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take over my father's practice when he retired in 1990 and have seen it grow steadily since then.

I have a long standing professional interest in dental care including preventative care, endodontic care, periodontal care and oral surgery. I am a member of the ABVMA, the CVMA, EASAV and the American Academy of Veterinary Dentistry.
