Octavio’s love for animals has been fostered over the years, having cared for a menagerie of animals throughout his childhood, including 3 hamsters, a lizard, a tarantula, a snake, a black kitten by the name of B-G, chickens, fish, and a hurt pigeon. Because he enjoyed working with animals, Octavio started working in the veterinary field in 2001 at a veterinary practice in Monrovia.  He is a vital member of the team, providing care for our patients and clients, performing laboratory tests, filling prescriptions, and performing radiographs. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Octavio also enjoys taking pictures of vintage cars.
