Making a Connection:  As I showed up for a blind date (with my future wife Courtney), I knocked on her door and was immediately greeted by a 100 pound lab. Having been raised without any dogs as a child, I wasn’t sure how to react. That night while at dinner, Courtney proclaimed Max was the best thing in the world, and over time, I couldn’t have agreed more. (even after he ate several pairs of my shoes)  Since then, we added an English Bulldog, Bacchus and our current Bernese Mountain Dog, Zeus.  I couldn’t imagine walking through the front door ever again without a greeting like the one Max gave me years ago!

With over 30 years of dedicated service in the veterinary industry, I have built my career on supporting veterinarians and helping practices grow, thrive, and evolve.

🌟 I know that selling a practice is so much more than just a transaction — it’s about protecting the legacy you’ve built through years of hard work, trusted relationships, and dedication to great medicine. My goal is to walk alongside practice owners through every step of the transition, making sure they find the right fit for their team, their clients, and the reputation they’ve worked so hard to build.

🤝 Collaboration and trust are at the heart of my work. I believe that successful transitions happen when you have an advisor who listens, advocates for your goals, and connects you with the right partners to preserve your culture and support your team’s future.

🌱 Growth is a journey, and transition is a key milestone. My goal is to make that process seamless, meaningful, and true to each owner’s vision for their future and legacy.

If you’re exploring what’s next for your practice, I’d love to connect and discuss how I can help you achieve a transition that feels right—for you, your team, and the community you serve.

“What I’ve learned working with veterinarians is this: they are some of the most honest, genuine, and hardworking professionals out there. They don’t need more noise; they need trusted partners who can provide clear guidance and help them confidently navigate the business side of veterinary medicine,” Sara shares. With her deep industry experience, Sara is dedicated to helping veterinarians navigate transitions with confidence. She believes every transition is stronger with a trusted advocate, and she’s proud to be that partner for her clients.

“My experience as an entrepreneur, starting, running, and transitioning family businesses, is something I’ve lived firsthand. I understand the small business landscape because I’ve been in it, and that matters in a transition like this. Your hard work, your team, and your community are real, tangible, and they deserve to be valued that way. Finding the right partner and protecting what you’ve built isn’t just a transaction, it’s about legacy and creating long term family wealth, and that’s something I care deeply about getting right together,” Sara says.

Sara’s Pet Connections

Sara is passionate about giving back, most notably through Dogs For Our Brave, a national 501(c)(3) she helped grow to serve veterans across the country. A board member since inception and current secretary/treasurer, she considers the work of supporting veterans and training rescue dogs as one of the most rewarding experiences of her life.
