Personal
information
I’m married
to Gale who gave me one of her kidneys in 2001. We have two children, Matthew,
a lawyer, and Heather, a science teacher at Memorial High. We also have three
grandchildren.
I graduated from Cornell in 1969 and practiced in upstate
New York in both dairy and small animal practices. I completed my residency and
graduate training in pathology at the University of Saskatchewan. I previously
served on the faculty at the UW SVM as a pathologist and ambulatory
coordinator.
Under the
guidance of Martin Schreiber, I formed the ADHOC laboratory services committee
to address issues confronting the delivery of laboratory services to Wisconsin
veterinarians. Our committee was successful in outlining the needs for current
and future diagnostic services and the infrastructure necessary for their
delivery. The needs for a new laboratory facility and equipment were identified
and a proposal was sent to the building commission with the support of several
legislators and the Secretary of Agriculture, Ben Brancel.
A meeting
with UW system administration was successful in obtaining adjunct faculty
appointments for laboratory scientist in the department of pathobiological
sciences in the SVM to promote research collaborations and shared teaching
activities for Veterinary students. This latter activity would promote enhanced
familiarity on the part of future veterinarians with the varied diagnostic
activities and services offered by the lab.
