About Me
     I graduated from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in 1980. My chief interests are internal medicine, dermatology and kidney diseases. I developed a special interest in the Chinese Shar-Pei breed after purchasing my first Shar-Pei, "Shami" in 1983.

I am the Chairman of the Health Through Education Committee for the Chinese Shar-Pei Club of America and have been since 1991. I have been the Obedience Advisor for the CSPCA since 1988. I am the assistant Director of Training for the Lyons Township Dog Training Club, an all-breed AKC obedience club.

I am also a member of the American Animal Hospital Association, the Association of Avian Practitioners, the American Heartworm Society, the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association, the Illinois State Veterinary Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association.

I received the William Morison Service Award from the CSPCA in 1997 for service to the Shar-Pei fancy and in 2003 was given a Life Membership from the CSPCA.
