In 1983, Keith took over the reins as principal veterinarian at Mittagong and has dedicated his life since then to serve the local community. Once a veterinarian who covered both large farm animals as well as domestic pets, over the last ten years or so, has honed his experience towards domestic pets. Keith has kept abreast through continuing education and professional development with the latest trends in veterinary science. Keith has taken an interest in community veterinary development in countries such as India, Nepal and Uganda and has made a number of trips to these countries.(To find out what Keith's philosophy is on being a veterinary professional please read the following article on 'Professionalism".)
