Chief Veterinary Nursing Officer
Veterinary Emergency Group
Ken has been reimagining veterinary nursing over the course of the past 23 years in the field. He is a double VTS in emergency and critical care and small animal internal medicine, and has a master's degree in Veterinary Science. He is currently the Chief Veterinary Nursing Officer for Veterinary Emergency Group, and the Program Director for the RECOVER Initiative. Over the years, he has received multiple Veterinary Technician of the Year Awards for his work to bring further recognition of the vital role of the veterinary technicians and nurses through work with organizations like NAVTA. Ken co-edited the Veterinary Technician and Nurse’s Daily Reference Guide for Canine and Feline, and the Manual of Veterinary Transfusion Medicine and Blood Banking. He also publishes articles and presents internationally on topics in ECC, transfusion medicine, and the veterinary nursing profession.
Ken invites everyone to ask “Why?” to understand the “What” and “How” of our field, and to continually pursue new limits as veterinary professionals and individuals.
