Given his extensive background in change and practice management, Bret has the knowledge to assist practice owners with increasing their profitability while preparing to sell their practice in their preferred timeframe.

Born and raised in Northeast Ohio, Bret graduated from the University of Toledo with a Bachelor’s Degree from the College of Business and Innovation. Shortly after graduation, Bret entered the veterinary profession and moved to the East Coast to join IDEXX Laboratories, a veterinary diagnostic company.

After a brief stint in diagnostics, Bret shifted his career focus to practice management, as he enjoyed working with practice owners on their businesses and workflow. Studying and learning from some of the most efficient operators in the country, Bret expanded his learning skillset to assist other practice owners with applying these best practices through workshops, seminars, and individual working sessions. Eventually, after working with hundreds of practice owners, Bret relocated to New York City, where he managed all North American software and services to drive a superb client experience from check-in to check-out.

Most recently, Bret engaged with future veterinarians by speaking at colleges and universities nationwide, offering lectures on various topics, including financial literacy, business finance, business operations/management, and development.
