He then continued his education by joining the Charter Class at the UW-School of Veterinary Medicine. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1987 and has worked at Lodi Veterinary Care ever since. He primarily works with dairy cows, but also enjoys beef cattle, sheep, goats and pigs.
