Sam joined the SVA team in 2017 after graduating from the University of Washington with degrees in computer science and classical percussion. Go Dawgs!
Growing up without pets at home only fueled his love for animals, leading him to seek out furry friends wherever he could. He made it a priority to spend time with his friends’ pets, volunteer at the Seattle Humane Society, and work at a dog daycare. Sam is naturally drawn to the joy and innocence of animals, finding them to be the perfect antidote to the stresses of daily life. For him, helping clients and caring for their animal companions is incredibly fulfilling work.
When he’s not at the clinic, you can usually find Sam playing soccer around Seattle! He also loves catching up on movies and TV shows, playing video games, sharing a good meal, and spending quality time with friends and family. He’s an avid reader, too, and swears by audiobooks as an absolute lifesaver for navigating Seattle traffic.
While his current apartment keeps him pet-free for now, Sam dreams of one day adopting two dogs and two cats. He doesn’t have any breed preferences; he’s just waiting to bring home whatever sweet rescues the local shelters have to offer.
