Statement of Candidacy

As a current WSVMA Board of Director I feel my experience and continued enthusiasm about creating a nimble and responsive association makes me a good candidate for this position.

I have served the association on the Board but also previously served as conference chair for 5 years. I am committed to serving the needs of our members and see successes in helping all veterinarians, animals and animal owners in our state.

I see the WSVMA having three tasks to serving our members:

  • Individual member’s needs. I feel as an association we are very good at responding to individual members and attempting to point them in the right direction for solutions to their problems.
  • Continued Education. Our association is committed to creating and providing access to quality CE for our members to complete all of their CE requirements.
  • Legislative advocacy. This is extremely important and often times out of our control, but/and we attempt to foster relationships with Legislators with the goal to have our voices heard.

If elected I look forward to continuing to serve the Veterinarians in Washington State.

Born and raised in Shelton, WA, I am the son of two Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine Graduates. I completed a BS in Zoology from University of Washington. I graduated from WSU College of Veterinary Medicine in 2010 and shortly after returned to Shelton, WA to work as a mixed animal practitioner. I have continued to enjoy mixed animal practice and have a special interest in shellfish and finfish Aquaculture.

Our industry has continued to make transitions to create an environment that is inclusive and gives equity to all individuals that are a part of it. Veterinary Medicine in general has been behind the times with these goals. I believe the commitment to support DEI initiatives will make the WSVMA a National leader and I am in full support of our current and future endeavors.
