Hi there everyone! A little about me. I have been a Veterinary technician since the 70′s, but I was licensed in Oregon then California later on.
I worked for James H. Van Gerpen here in Sonora for 17 yrs then for Tomi Sue Henderson when she bought the practice in 1995. I lost my career overnight due to a long standing work injury that unraveled my spine in 2000.
I stay current in all areas of the field and I am still actively licensed. I give lectures now and then on aspects of Veterinary medicine to Vet Tech students.
I also answer questions on AllExperts.com and really enjoy that so I thought I would open that up to others.
I love animals and have been very close to our brethren of the earth since I was born. I truly feel I was born to work with animals and help them heal. I feel a great stewardship to all animals and am first and foremost an animal and pet advocate. What the means is that I do what is right for the pet, not the owner. It is a fine line to tread on and all vet techs are sworn to do this.
I also do animal portraits, artwork of all kinds and have many other hobbies. Some of those are hockey, fine dining, wine tasting, walking with my dog and fly fishing. I have two grown kids that are doing great.
I also own Indigo Moon Arts here in Sonora, which is a small web design business. You can find my site at www.indigomoonarts.com
Welcome to my blog!
You should consider answering questions on Yahoo Answers (answers.yahoo.com) I’m sure there are plenty of people out there that would benefit from your help.
Yahoo answers is filled with amateurs that answer questions. An answer from a professional has little weight. I answer questions at AllExperts.com under the Ask the Veterinarian category. They screen your credentials and thus the caliper of answers are much higher.
I have answered many questions on Yahoo Answers but have stopped.
