Jim is a native of Minnedosa, born and raised in the community, and purchased the veterinary practice in June 1986. Graduating from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1983, he began his career as a veterinarian in Souris, MB. He enjoys serving all species of animal, but most enjoys providing care for livestock. He is pleased that Dr. Troy Gowan has joined him as business partner in 2017.
His family of four are now young adults, pursuing their own dreams, and he enjoys managing his small mixed farm, with annual crop production and a commercial beef herd. Free time finds him pursuing a passion for musical theatre and participation in community choral groups.
