Meet Our Speakers

I would like to introduce myself as the new ABVP Beef Cattle Regent. I was raised on a grain and livestock farm in Southern Indiana. In 1991 I received my DVM from Purdue University and married a classmate, Dr. Karen. We spent two years in Eastern Pennsylvania and in 1993 purchased Spring Mill Veterinary Service, a mixed animal practice in Mitchell, Indiana which we sold in June 2022. I periodically work part time at the practice where I have done mostly beef cattle with some sheep, goats and swine as well as some small animal. In 2000 I became a diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in Beef Cattle. I currently work as a part time technical veterinary consultant for Axiota Animal Health. In 2024, I filled in as a clinical professor at St. George’s University in Grenada, where I gave lectures, taught hand on labs and did ambulatory calls in the jungles of Grenada. I also do other public speaking jobs for different organizations.
