Summary
My professional life has focused on the practice of veterinary medicine focused primarily on food animal species.
I was in private practice for 26 years. During that time, I was able to complete the requirements for certification as a Dipliomate of the American College of Theriogenologists, taking the examination in 1999. For six years I was a member of the Certifying Examination Committee of the American College of Theriogenologists, serving as committee chair in 2007.
I have served as a board member of the Mississippi Veterinary Medical Association, have served in every office of the Society for Theriogenology from board member to President/Past President, and as a member of the Executive Board of the American College of Theriogenologists.
I joined the faculty of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Auburn University in 2005 as an Associate Clinical Professor, and was promoted to Clinical Professor in 2013. I was the first clinical track faculty hired at the College of Veterinary Medicine, and the first promoted to Professor.
At Auburn, I provided clinical service, supervised veterinary students, delivered lectures and served as course coordinator. I was closely involved with resident training, and during my time there 18 Auburn Theriogenology residents became Diplomates of the American College of Theriogenologists.
My duties often included collaboration with other faculty involved in research in reproductive physiology, bovine mastitis, viral infections of food animals, and with a unique swine model of obesity.
