Dave grew up outside of Newmarket, ON.  Both of his parents were teachers, but it was his grandparents who were farmers that gave him a love and interest in cattle and veterinary medicine.  He graduated from Ontario Veterinary College in 1994 and spent his first 6 years in clinical mixed animal practice in Manitoba and then  Tillsonburg, where he and his family live.  In 2000 he joined Oxford Bovine after deciding to focus solely on bovine veterinary services.  Dave enjoys all aspects of dairy veterinary practice, with special interests in reproduction, calf health and surgery.

Dave and his wife Sharon have been married over 30 years and have been blessed with 4 children and is delighted now being Papa to 4 grandchildren.  Family trips, outdoor adventures, involvement in their family church and children's activities keep them young and active.  Dave seeks to make a significant and positive impact on people’s lives through the many relationships and interactions being a veterinarian allows for.  He considers it a privilege to be part of the Oxford Bovine team, and he values the mutual trust and respect between him and the many wonderful producers the practice serves.
