Inspired by his sister, Greg considered a career in genetic research. He studied Biology and Chemistry and completed a genetics based honors thesis and publication while attending Carroll College. But after heavy deliberation, Greg realized he wanted more from life than grant proposals, committee meetings, and peer reviews.
During his first year in Oregon, Greg became familiar with the staff, students, and curriculum at Oregon State University and encouraged by his wife, decided to pursue medicine. Once enrolled, he thought surely he would find himself working by way of flashlight at 3 am on the coldest days of the year; bovine medicine was all he had really ever known. But it didn’t take long for Greg to discover a new passion - radiology. Still, Greg couldn’t completely dismiss his previous aspirations. In addition to his regular studies, he found a way to combine his long time admiration for cattle and the uncharted territory of imaging, completing another research project eligible for publication.
After graduation and while pursuing his interests in radiology, Greg completed a small animal rotating internship at Auburn University and has since shifted his focus to companion animal medicine. Like Misty, Greg couldn’t wait to return to Montana where he continues to enjoy the challenges of radiology and internal medicine.
Greg has been described as competitive, passionate, determined, and curious. Greg is committed to providing the best medicine he can for his patients and is dedicated to expanding his knowledge to remain on the forefront of care. He believes that there is something to be learned from every case, regardless of how routine it may seem. And although the path to this point was long and imperfect, the destination has been worth the journey.

After Carroll, Misty spent 3 years as a veterinary assistant, developing technical skills to compliment her academic knowledge in preparation for vet school. More importantly, this experience led to her philosophy that exceptional care takes more than great doctors and fancy equipment, it requires a team of compassionate people all dedicated to patient comfort and the understanding that no one is above getting their hands dirty. It was also during this time that Misty met her mentor who continues to inspire her to never stop learning and growing, personally and professionally.
Misty attended Oregon State University and although she studied both large and small animal medicine, she has always had an affinity for companion animals. As she moved through those four years, her interests continued to diversify. Along with behavior, Misty developed a passion for preventative medicine, dentistry, and reproduction. But despite its beauty, Oregon never felt like home and Misty was happy to return to Montana to continue practicing medicine.
The people closest to Misty describe her as genuine, compassionate, honest, and hard-working. But perhaps her most notable quality is humor. She’s quick witted, talks to animals as if they will suddenly talk back, and finds that making people smile is the gift that keeps on giving. Misty considers her dogs to be more than pets, they are family. What Misty admires most about animals is that they will never try to fix you with words; instead they are content to sit with you in the dark until you find the light.

“I love working somewhere where I can constantly learn something new. I always knew I wanted to work with animals and working with these great people makes it worth while in so many ways.”

I’ve always wanted to be in a vet clinic from the moment I heard a veterinarian speak on career day.
Pets are my people, I connect to them easier than people. I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember and they have taught more about responsibility than anything else in my life.
Being a part of the Livingston Veterinary Clinic is helping me make my dream of becoming a veterinarian technician come true.
In my free time I am around water, running or hiking with my 3 dogs Koa, Pixie and Tucker.

When I am not learning at the clinic, I am usually outside with friends, hiking, swimming or watching the sun go down.
