Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

I grew up on a small farm in central Texas which instilled in me a deep love of animals. While I was always interested in the medical field, it wasn’t until after I completed my service in the military that I decided to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. 

I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of North Texas before attending Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine, where I received my veterinary degree. 

As a veterinarian, I am passionate about providing quality emergency and end-of-life care for my pet patients and being there for my clients when they most need support. 

Having someone you trust to guide you through your pet’s end-of-life process is so important. When my childhood dog, Pepper, passed away from cancer, we didn’t have a family veterinarian to turn to, and that made an already challenging situation even more difficult. I like knowing that I can be a warm, friendly face and trusted support for pets and families during a critical moment in their life. 

While it’s heartbreaking to lose a pet, I believe we should celebrate their life and the time we spent together. I am grateful to be able to create a positive end-of-life experience for pets and the people who love them through my role at Lap of Love. 

When I'm not working as a veterinarian. I enjoy spending time with my wife, Emily, our daughter, Violet, and our newborn son, John. I also like to travel, eat delicious food, and immerse myself in new experiences.
