At Ethos Veterinary Health, we aim to be the industry leader in specialty and emergency medicine, delivering exceptional care to our patients, clients, and pet care teams while advancing the veterinary profession. I look forward to building the world’s premier specialty and emergency veterinary organization and leading the advancement of cutting-edge medicine to extend and improve the lives of pets.

I have a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Cornell University, a master’s degree from Temple University, and an MBA from Harvard Business School. I’ve been in the healthcare industry my entire career. Working in pharmaceuticals at Merck and then orthopedic equipment for veterinary surgeons at Synthes. I’ve also held several veterinary leadership roles, including Vice President of Operations for NVA Compassion-First, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Compassion-First Pet Hospitals, and CEO of several specialty and emergency hospitals, including Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists (GCVS) in Houston. Originally from upstate New York, I live in Houston with my wife and our four daughters, two dogs, and three cats.
