Born and raised in small-town Iowa, Connie grew up in the heart of the Midwest. Growing up on her family’s horse-breeding farm, she learned to be a horseman from a young age. Connie was active in 4-H, her community, and in the horse show industry, so it was second nature when she began shadowing her veterinarian at a young age. It’s there that her passion for the animal health industry began. 

After earning her bachelor’s degree in animal science from Iowa State University, Connie accepted a customer success role at GlobalVetLINK. She spent nearly two years learning exactly what veterinarians want and need in their practices before transitioning out of customer success and into a career in sales. Starting in inside sales and utilization, Connie has grown to understand the needs of veterinarians from every job angle. Her positions over these last six years have built her strength in sales and fueled her passion for animal health.

Outside of work you’ll find Connie in the barn, where she manages her own warmblood breeding program and a full-time lesson program for lower level eventing, dressage, and jumping. Connie actively shows and develops her own dressage horse as well, affectionately named Rummy. Connie also has extensive experience in rehabilitation and retraining of thoroughbred racehorses toward their careers after the racetrack. Connie has two “kids”—a yellow Lab named Tucker and a black Lab named Gunner, who are her assistant trainers and her pride and joy. 

Fun fact: Connie is an avid travel bug, and enjoys seeing the world with her husband (and her two dogs when it works out).
