Jonathan Burch

I have previous management experience from my formal industry with Norfolk Southern Railroad INC.  I worked as a conductor, locomotive engineer and held multiple supervisory roles.  The love I have for animals drew me into a strong urge to come into veterinary medicine.  The compassion that I hold for animals is everlasting.  

      I have been in veterinary medicine for 11 years.  I started off in general practice and then transitioned to ER/UC where I excelled very well.  After some time in vet med, I grew a passion to learn practice management.  I completed my AAS for my LVT program back in 2021.  I knew that I wanted to continue my education towards business management, so I enrolled in my BBA. I am planning on sitting for my boards in the Spring of 2025. I have a passion for veterinary management and supporting my staff to my fullest extent.  My long term goals are to complete my MBA and to complete my CVPM.

      In my downtime, I love spending time with the woman who stole my heart from the word go, my wife Savannah and her 3 children.  I have a 14-year-old Shih-Tzu "Buster" that is my side kick.  And we have a house full of cats: Orangejello, Boogers, Tilly, and Binx. And a rowdy Siberian Husky Tundra.  Needless to say, we love our animals.  We love spending time on Lake Anna and being together as a family.  I also enjoy my sports: Boston Red Sox and LET'S GO HOKIES. 

      I'm very family oriented and love spending time with them.  I was born and raised in Amherst County, Virginia.  I am the youngest out of 3 boys.  We are still very close even though we are older and live farther apart.  We love getting together for family events, cook outs, on the water, and beach vacations.
