OUR TEAM
crimson
Founder &
Veterinarian
Veterinary medicine has been my calling since I was 16 years old. I worked my way through every role in the field—from receptionist and technician to veterinarian—before spending four years in a busy emergency hospital. While I witnessed incredible medicine, I also saw how overwhelming and impersonal the experience could feel for families during some of their hardest moments.
Ben
Co-Founder & Chief of Development
You may not see him every day, but Ben Primicias is one of the biggest reasons we're here today. As Co-founder and Chief of Development, is the steady force behind the scenes - from the construction journey to keeping the systems running smoothly like a well-oiled (and pet-safe!) machine.
