President's Message


"It's My Job"
 First and foremost, I want to express what a sincere honor it is to serve this year as your president of the IVMA!  22 years ago this fall, a classmate and friend (Dr. Scott Sievers) called to ask if I was, “about ready to move back to Iowa, where I belonged” and buy his dad’s practice so he could retire. His timing could not have been better, and my wife, Bonnie, and I took a few weeks to think and pray about it before we happily jumped in with both feet. Within a couple of years, I met Dr. Tom Johnson and was asked to be a candidate for the IVMA Executive Board. Prior to that time, I had not been involved in organized veterinary medicine and saw it as somebody else’s job. Since that time, I have served on many committees within the IVMA and come to realize and appreciate the work and dedication of our great association and the people who make it work, so that as practitioners and small business owners, we could do our jobs while they “had our backs”.
