I founded Mermaid Vet Hospital in 2020, during one of the most challenging times the veterinary field has faced. Through hard work and a clear vision, that practice grew into a trusted part of veterinary care in Vero Beach.

My time with the U.S. Army Reserve — including a 2022 deployment as Officer in Charge of veterinary operations during Operation Inherent Resolve — shaped how I lead: with discipline, preparation, and accountability.

Mermaid SANDS grew out of a simple goal: build a cost-effective, high-volume clinic that gives families real value without cutting corners on medical care or the wellbeing of our team. Every dollar donated goes toward that mission.
