⭐️MEET THE STAFF MONDAY⭐️
This week we are highlighting our assistant technician, Cole Denner!
Cole has called the Iowa City/Coralville area home for the past two years, but his roots in Iowa go much deeper. Born in Cedar Rapids and raised in the Lisbon and Mount Vernon areas, Cole brings a strong sense of community and a lifelong connection to animals to the Goosetown team.
He grew up on a farm surrounded by livestock, fowl, and even peacocks—helping care for them from a young age and laying the foundation for his passion in animal care. After a brief stint working as a kennel technician at Petland, Cole was recruited by Dr. Rudd Nelson himself to join Goosetown Animal Hospital!
Since our opening in July 2024, Cole has been an essential part of the team, bringing curiosity, compassion, and a true love for learning to his work every day. He plans to continue his education to become a certified radiology technician, building on the experience he’s gaining here at Goosetown.
At home, Cole shares life with his boyfriend Colten and their two beloved pets—Klaus, a German Shepherd, and Fayebaline (Faye), a Himalayan cat. Together, they make home a warm, lively, and love-filled place.
When he’s not caring for animals at the clinic, Cole enjoys tending to his many plants, hanging out with friends, and going on new adventures.
Cole’s warm personality, strong work ethic, and lifelong dedication to animal care make him a trusted and valued member of the Goosetown family. 🐾
