After volunteering at VCA Canada Calgary North Veterinary Hospital, Jerry graduated from Olds College (with honours) as a Registered Veterinary Technologist in 1997. He worked in the emergency department at Calgary North for 2 years. Jerry then moved to the Internal Medicine department in 1999 where he worked until 2008. During this time Jerry was promoted to Manager of Technologists and Tech Assistants.

In 2008 Jerry moved to Antech Diagnostics where he assisted in opening the first VCA Canada Veterinary STAT Lab in Western Canada. While at Antech, Jerry performed testing in various veterinary departments as a Lab Tech and Supervisor.

Jerry enjoys “helping people, whether it be a client requiring treatment for their pet or a primary care veterinarian, or their support staff, with questions about referring a case. The best words that I can ever hear are: ‘Thank you, you have been very helpful!’”

Jerry currently supports our specialty team including Dr. Genevieve Hammond (Oncology, based in Calgary), Dr. Mason Wanamaker (Diagnostic Imaging), Dr. Tyler Udenberg (Dermatology, based in Vancouver), and Dr. Laura Romano (Rehabilitation, currently at VCA Canada Central Saanich, and soon to be at Central Victoria Veterinary Hospital).

In his spare time, Jerry likes spending time with his dog Rex, cat Stella, and his partner Coleen. He also enjoys listening to music and doing work around the house.
