I am a passionate, hard working and highly reliable lifelong pet lover with over 35 years of experience caring for a variety of pets (dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, etc.), both at home and while working at a veterinary clinic. I have an undergraduate degree in Zoology, and a master's in Science Education. I spent many years working in the pet supply industry, where I developed a deep expertise in the field of dog and cat nutrition. During that time I did nutritional consulting with individuals, as well as presenting on radio and to students at the UW-Madison veterinary college. I also have a deep love of dog training, including agility and frisbee. Additionally, my wife and I helped friends start a farm, where we lived for four years raising and milking goats, as well as tending chickens and pigs.
