Dr. Steenis graduated from Western University of Health Sciences and has trained and worked the wilds of the Tampa Bay area, Southern California, and even the Johannesburg Zoo. At home, he's the proud zookeeper of two energetic sons, River and Hawk, three dogs, two cats, and two box turtles—all while sharing the vet duties with his wife, Dion, and trying to keep the chaos at least somewhat contained.

When he's not wrangling his mini-menagerie, Dr. Steenis loves to play sports with his boys, snowboarding down hills that are slightly less steep than his parenting challenges, traveling to exotic locations, and running (mostly away from chores). His medical interests include soft-tissue surgery, dermatology, and pain management.
