He practiced veterinary medicine for 40 years and became the co-owner of the Celina Animal Hospital in 1986. His years as a vet allowed him to treat and care for thousands of animals, both large and small. These animals were not only patients of his but were cherished family members to many. He was known for his knowledge, expertise and compassion for his entire career and had a true passion for the animals he treated and their families alike.
