Veterinarian

Dr. Chris Holmes

After growing up and graduating from high school in Santa Cruz, I headed to UC San Diego to get my Bachelors degree in Animal Physiology. After graduation, I went to UC Davis for Veterinary School. The day after graduation I married Lori, left on a honeymoon, came back and had to find a rental house in Lake County within a week of returning so that I could start working as a veterinarian in Lakeport. That was 1994, I have been here ever since. I should point out that I had never heard of Lake County before my job interview. It takes a while, but this place definitely grows on you.

I would like to say that my hobbies outside of work include soccer, surfing and wake boarding. But now that I'm over the hill I guess my hobbies include soccer coaching my sons' and daughter's teams and being the boat driver for my kids. Through the kids, as well as through work, we have met and become friends with many wonderful people. We are proud to call Lake County home.
