     THE STAFF

  Technician
I moved from Australia to beautiful St. George, Utah in December 2001.  I grew up on a cattle farm (Ranch) in Australia which is where I developed my affinity with all animals and the passion for their care and welfare.  I previously worked as a stable/race supervisor at a thoroughbred horse racing stable in Australia and as kennel supervisor at a large pet boarding facility here in St. George.  I am very privileged to be able to work with Dr. Barton & Dr. King and all the other staff at WFVC.  I love to hike and mountain bike with my two dogs Tassie and Pepper.
 

  Technician                                                                                    I was born in Payson Utah, but shortly after moved to Saint George. I grew up in Ivins and graduated from Dixie High School in 2005. I served a LDS mission in Salta Argentina from 2006-2008 and loved every minute of that experience. I grew up around race horses, show lambs/steers and two parents that love agriculture, I guess you could say they passed that same love to me. I started working in a veterinary atmosphere in high school and soon found this is what I would like to do for the rest of my life. I enjoy the patients we see and the satisfaction when they leave happy and healthy. I am currently attending Dixie State College seeking a degree in Biology and plan to apply to vet school in the next few years. I am married to the best lookin gal in the world Eleanore Zimmerman.
