He continued his education at the University of Michigan where he earned a Master of Sciences in Toxicology. During his time in Michigan, he felt a calling towards veterinary medicine and pursued his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University. He entered private practice in Alexandria, Virginia where he met his wife, Dr. Kelly. Not long after, they moved to the Charlotte area to be closer to family. He and his wife founded Sherrills Ford Animal Hospital in 2022. 

His professional interests include internal medicine, surgery and dentistry. He has received his Cat Friendly Veterinarian certification through the American Association of Feline Practitioners and practices low-stress and gentle handling techniques. While he loves the challenges presented by practicing medicine, he is passionate that one of the best parts of veterinary medicine is caring for the entire family and the ability to improve client’s lives through their pets. 

Dr. Blake and his wife foster a warm and energetic household with their two wonderful children, alongside their beloved pup Murphy and two cats, Sydney and Chloe. In his spare time, Dr. Blake is an avid hiker and camper and enjoys time outdoors where he can refine his photography skills. Most of all, he enjoys spending time with his family.
