Rick Coufal

A native of Colorado, I grew up on a small family farm surrounded by animals big and small. My participation in 4H over many years ultimately led me to choose veterinary medicine as my profession. I went on to graduate from Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in May of 2000 and started working in the Black Forest community later that year.I continue to find great satisfaction in the day to day challenges being a vet presents from the basics of preventative health to the more complicated surgical procedures where I excel. Aside from my affinity for animals, I enjoy wildlife photography, camping, fly-fishing, and spending time with my wife and three children as well as a plethora of pets at home.
