Justin graduated from Kansas State University in 2012 and began his career in small-animal practice in Ottawa, Ontario, before moving to New Zealand to take on a role with MPI. With a background in biosecurity and emergency management, he has worked across a wide range of situations—from disease outbreaks to unusual cases—before returning to companion-animal practice, where his patients shed far more fur than paperwork.

Outside of work, Justin enjoys tinkering with anything that needs fixing, supporting his local toy library, and creating clever solutions with his 3D printer. He shares his life with his Rottweiler, Iorek, who is equal parts muscle, drool, and very good boy.
