Dr. Jason discovered his love for animals at a young age. Growing up in Western Minnesota, almost all of his childhood memories incorporated the outdoors and animals, both pets and wildlife alike. He attended the University of St. Thomas where his interests led him to study Biology. He decided to combine his lifelong love for animals and his love for science.

Dr. Sharon grew up in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota and attended Macalester College in St. Paul where she completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology. She Enjoyed a first career in biotech on the West coast, but her love of animals and interest in medicine brought her back home to attend veterinary school at the University of Minnesota.

I first discovered my love of animals while growing up in Rothschild, Wisconsin from my mother who was known for rescuing and nurturing many furry creatures. After graduating with honors from the University of Minnesota in biology, I followed my life-long passion of caring for animals when I graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine in 1985.
