Rochester MN Veterinarian Technicians & Support Staff

I am the Hospital Administrator. My wife Dr. Anderson and I purchased Quarry Hill Park Animal Hospital on January 1st, 2007, when Dr. Noser, my father, retired. I have been working at Quarry Hill Park Animal Hospital off and on since the sixth grade. I studied biology and chemistry at the University of Minnesota, followed by working in research at the Mayo Clinic. I now manage the business and administrative end of the hospital. I enjoy working in my workshop with Chuck, my three legged feline assistant, spending time with our dog, Stella, in the field, and family time with my wife and two wonderful kids.

With an older brother who is a veterinarian, I have always had "animals in my blood." I worked in the Rochester area in the fields of grooming, boarding and veterinary medicine for over 25 years. I have also had experience with training and showing dogs. My first dog came before I was in kindergarten and I have had at least one ever since. Thinking of myself as more of a dog person, I have more recently developed a genuine appreciation of cats. My “kids” currently consist of three dogs and one cat.

My interest in animals brought me to the Medical Institue of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN after graduating from Pacelli High School in Austin, MN. Once the first veterinary technician class started I knew that this was what I really wanted to do.

After completing the course I did a 3 month internship here at Quarry Hill Park Animal Hospital. Dr. Gary Noser then hired me as the first veterinary technician for the hospital. I say that even after all these years this is still what I really want to do.

Other interests that I enjoys are spending time with friends and family, working in my flower garden, canoeing, outdoor concerts and snowmobiling-especially in the Ely, MN area. My cat Miles and dog Dottie keep me entertained daily with their antics.

I always loved animals growing up but it wasn't until I worked at a veterinary clinic during high school that I decided to go to college to become a veterinary technician.. I graduated from Ridgewater college in 2000 and joined the Quarry Hill team shortly after.

My husband and I share our house with 3 cats and our tortoise Fern. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and kitty sitting and being outdoors.

I was born and raised in Rochester and I have had pets all my life. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to do something with animals. I started training service dogs when I was a freshman in high school. I went on to college at North Dakota State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Veterinary Technology in 2001 and joined the Quarry Hill staff in May of 2001.

I love working with all animals and their owners on a daily basis. I enjoy watching all the puppies change and grow as they come into the clinic. My husband and I live in the country with our 3 kids and several animals. I love spending time with my family out in the country, going camping and horseback riding in my free time. I also enjoy showing and training my dogs in confirmation, obedience and agility.

I had a passion for animals that led me to the veterinary world. I graduated from RCTC in 2008 with an A.A.S. degree in Veterinary Technology. I love the job I have and love caring for my patients. It is a career filled with every day learning. It amazes me to learn something new everyday! I share my home with my daughter and 3 furry cats.

Even as a child I knew I wanted a career working with animals. I have 10 years combined experience working as a groomer and veterinary assistant. I joined Quarry Hill October of 2017 and am excited to be a part of the team. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dog Windsor, fishing, hiking, and spending time outdoors.

Ever since I was little and growing up on the family farm, I knew I wanted to work with animals. Dogs, cats, cattle and horses, you name it. I graduated from RCTC in 2016, with an AAS degree in Veterinary Technology.

I have been a part of Quarry Hill's team since November of 2017 and I love it. In my spare time I can be found with my horse at the Saddle Club and parades, driving tractor in antique tractor drives, farming, and spending time with my husband, family and friends.

I have always loved animals. I would visit my grandparents’ farm and was around various animals such as cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, chicken, dogs, and cats. I grew up with a yellow Labrador Retriever named Ceaser ( yes, this how you spell Caesar when you are 8 years old), who loved to go on walks.

My passion for animals and wanting to help people has led me to become a Veterinary Technician. I graduated from RCTC with a degree in Associates in Applied Science of Veterinary Technology in May 2019.

My favorite activities are reading, scrapbooking, watching movies, singing, and spending time with my husband, Eric. My next goals in life are to buy a house, have kids and adopt a dog.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” The age old question that everyone is always asked and most times not given a true, stick to it, answer. Except when it came to me. From the age of 5, I knew I wanted to peruse a career in the veterinary world. Of course, at the time I wanted to be a vet, but I am so thankful for where I’m at now in my career as a veterinary technician at Quarry Hill.

Although I was born and raised, and are still living in Iowa, I attended and graduated, in 2022, from RCTC with an A.A.S. Degree in Veterinary Technology. Growing up on the family farm in Iowa, where my experience with animals first started, I helped both my grandpa and dad with their farrow to finish swine operation. Along with pigs, we also had, like every farm, many cats and now a few dogs: Dusty, a golden retriever mix, Denali, a blue heeler mix, and Myles, a Great Pyrenees mix. As much as I loved my large animals, I’m glad that I am able to help our wonderful clients and their pets with whatever they may need to stay and be healthy!

I grew up in a small town on a farm. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with the beef cattle we raised and the farm dog and cats we had. As you can see now we have mini donkeys. I always knew I wanted to do something with animals I just never knew what. I plan to graduate from RCTC with an AAS degree in veterinary technology in 2024. I still don’t know if I want to work at a small animal practice, or if I would want to work with the large farm animals. I hope to always have the chance to care and love for animals.

I was born in Rochester and moved to Eyota at age 13 and love living in a small town. I have 2 beautiful daughters, Kaydence and Violet and am married to my wonderful husband Phillip. I attended RCTC for 2 years to become an EMT however, found my real passion in the Veterinary field. I have been working in the small animal practice since 2020. My favorite hobbies include fishing and ATV riding. At home I have a black and white kitty named Junior.

I've always had a desire to do something with animals although it took me longer in life to start. I served in the US military from 2008-2018 splitting my time between the Navy and Army. Once I retired from service, I pursued my real passion, which was animals. I graduated with my AAS from RCTC and began working at Quarry Hill in 2021.

I grew up in Maine but called Minnesota my home since 2018. I have been married for 15 years and have two wonderful kids, Emmrie and Rowan. And we share our home currently with two dogs, three cats and two fish.
