I am a practicing Veterinarian and the owner of All Creatures Veterinary Hospital in Vallejo, California, USA My practice includes small animals including dogs, cats, pocket pets, birds, and reptiles and most other things that can make it through the door. I graduated from U.C.Davis with a B.S. degree in genetics and DVM degree. I am a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the California Veterinary Medical Association, the Association of Avian Veterinarians, the Association of Veterinary Allergists, and a former president of the Napa-Solano Veterinary Medical Association. I am quite active in local animal organizations, prior chairman for our County Animal Control Task Force, Member of the Board of Directors of the Benicia-Vallejo Humane Society, and have given several talks to breed clubs and other pet organizations.

     This page has been set up to provide accurate information for pet owners, both in the form of original articles and links to those others have written which I feel are worth seeing. I also have added a bit of "fun" information that lets you get to know me a bit and might be helpful to you as you explore the usefulness of the internet. If you would like to have me consider adding a web page you find worthwhile, or if you have other information or comments, feel free to contact me by email . If you frequent IRC, you can find me when I'm online either on Knightnet (server orc.dbn.za.knightner.net) where I use the nickname "bard" in the channels #mirc, #beginner or #chatzone . Being a Rotarian and former President of the Vallejo, California club, I am always looking for ways to increase communication among fellow Rotarians. I have set up a chatroom for this purpose. If you use internet explorer just click on #Rotary . You can also find me on Undernet, with the nickname "cleaner", where I set up the channel #Pets for exchange of pet information and friendly chat. I also help in the channel #mirc , a channel for those new to IRC that need help with the program. If you frequent IRC stop by and say hello . The All Creatures section should be up and running soon and will tell a little about my Veterinary Hospital. It will contain original material we have put together to hand out to clients at the clinic. Hopefully some of it will be interesting to you. You can see me here.
