Roadrunner Animal Hospital

I was brought up in rural northwest Iowa. After graduating from Veterinary school at Iowa State University in 1978, I moved to sunny Phoenix. I have worked at Roadrunner Animal Hospital since March of 1994. I enjoy working with a great staff that has a passion to give quality medical care. My wonderful wife and I have been married since 1987. We have two boys, Riley and Austin, a beautiful daughter Courtney, and an incredible dog Annie. My extra time is filled with family activities, community service at Habitat for Humanity, travel, bicycling and serving at our church, Pure Heart Christian Fellowship.

I grew up in Lebanon, Indiana, a small town outside of Indianapolis. I graduated from Purdue University’s Veterinary school in 1998 and then headed west to Phoenix. I have worked at Roadrunner Animal Hospital since April 2003. My family includes my 2 sons, Jesse and Jack and our Golden Retriever, Belle. My hobbies include reading, ATV riding and spending time with my family.

I was raised in a small town in central Wisconsin. I always had a love for animals so decided to pursue an undergraduate degree in zoology and ultimately went on to become a doctor of veterinary medicine. I graduated with my DVM from the University of Wisconsin in 2007. I have been practicing as a small animal veterinarian in Arizona since then but am new to the team at Roadrunner. I believe our pets enrich our lives and I strive to provide high quality, compassionate care for pets and their families. I have a few pets of my own—2 dogs, a cat and a cockatiel at the moment. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors—hiking, camping, traveling and exploring.

I was born and raised in California and moved to Arizona with my husband Steve in 2005.We have a silly four year old daughter named Promise, she makes me laugh everyday and always keep us on our toes. I have two small rescued dogs both mutts named Poncho and Peanut.

I have been part of the team here at Roadrunner for about three years now and I enjoy coming to this clinic every day. I am blessed that I can be around fun, positive people and still make a difference in the lives of pets and their owners. I have been attending night classes at Kaplan College and am almost finished. Yeah!!! My goal is to graduate pass the CVT test and become a Certified Veterinary Technician. In my spare time, Oh what spare time? When I’m not at school or work, I enjoy barbequing with family and friends, camping and watching movies with my daughter.

Hi there! My name is Amanda, I'm a vet assistant and I love what I do. Working with animals has always been a passion of mine. Being able to help save a pets life or welcome a new one into the world, is an amazing feeling. When I’m not hard at work at Roadrunner, I’m spending time with my black lab named Luke, my tuxedo-like kitty named Frankie, and my awesome boyfriend. We like to sit at home, watch movies and eat just about what ever we can create. When we are not being couch potatoes, you can find us on the closest dirt bike track enjoying the race. Most of my free time involves my family and pets, however when I get the chance to kick back by myself I enjoy reading, being creative and to be honest, sleeping. Nothing is more rewarding then a good nap after a hard day of work. The future holds a great deal of amazing new adventures for me and I plan to keep my career wrapped around the animal kingdom in some fashion.

I was born and raised in New Mexico and moved out to Arizona in 2009, along with my best bud "Blaze" who is a black lab. We have enjoyed living here in Arizona and being a part of Roadrunner Animal Hospital. My goal is to be Certified Veterinary Technician. My hobbies are outdoor activities, playing my tenor saxophone and other instruments when i have time and hanging out friends and most importantly spending time with my family and eating mutton.

I was born in the great state of Washington. Then I lived in Alabama until I was ten. Now I live in Arizona and have for the past seven years. Some of my hobbies are horseback riding and traveling. I also have four dogs; Charlie, Butch, Sam and Little One. After graduating high school I want to attend Oregon State University, and then hopefully go to vet school. I love my job here at Roadrunner and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love to learn new things and I enjoy helping with treatment any chance I get. It is really nice being a part of a great team and working with wonderful clients.

My name is Jennifer Schumacher and I'm from a small town in the mid-west. I graduated high school and went straight into the United States Air Force. I served nine and a half years as a supply technician.
After I left the service, I moved to Phoenix to pursue a degree in Veterinary Technology. I graduate in March 2010 and plan to sit for the state certification board in January 2011. I still intend to continue my education, whether it’s in Animal Behavior or in the human medical field.
My family includes my friends and my furry "children" – Rocky, Germen Sheppard/Border Collie, Madison – Blue Pit Bull/Lab mix and Adrian – Puggle (Pug/Beagle). In my personal time I enjoy traveling and reading.
I became a member of the Roadrunner Animal Hospital family in November 2009.

I have been working at Roadrunner Animal Hospital since June of 2005. I love working with the clients and their pets. I have four pets of my own; Snickers a border collie mix, Cassie an Australian Shepherd, and two cats P.J. and a new kitten who has not been named yet. I recently graduated from Northern Arizona University with a bachelor’s degree in zoology. I plan to attend veterinary school within the next year.

I am an Arizona native and have been with Roadrunner Animal Hospital since March of 2006. I am currently working on my degree in Criminal Justice, however, I'm not sure exactally what I want to do within the criminal justice field, maybe a K9 unit somewhere. In my spare time, which I do not have a lot of, I enjoy going to the gym, going shooting, being outside whether it be something calm like hanging by the pool or something active like hiking, and spending time with family and friends.

I have been a part of the Roadrunner team since December 2007. I enjoy working with animals as well as their owners. I have been around animals my entire life so working as a veterinary assistant just makes sense. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family, watching scary movies and hanging out with friends.

I have just recently moved from Sioux City, Iowa in December and have been working at Roadrunner since February. I have a 5 year old son named Elijah and my other "children" include 2 cats, 3 dogs and 4 horses. In my spare time I like to sleep in, shop, and just relax and hang out by the pool.
