Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Dr. Blue gained a passion for animals during his early adolescence by becoming the neighborhood veterinarian for household pets. He later attended Tuskegee University where he earned a Bachelor of Animal Science and a Doctor of Veterinary medicine.
While working toward his DVM, Dr. Blue’s professional experience includes Dauphin Island Sea Lab, Tuskegee University Comparative Animal Medicine Laboratory, E.V. Smith Dairy Farm and student representative for Fort Dodge Animal Health. As a practicing veterinarian, Dr. Blue began working in Las Vegas, Nevada for two leading veterinarian hospitals, Ann Road and Grand Montecito Animal Hospital as well as the Lied Animal Shelter. In 2015, Dr. Blue along with partners Dr. Michael Lavigne and Dr. Aubrey Ross, Jr. opened the doors to Cy-Fair Animal Hospital, a full service medical facility in Houston, Texas that specializes in today’s leading veterinarian techniques, and now has expanded to three locations.
The journey of planning and building their hospital ultimately gave way for the hit Animal Planet reality series “The Vet Life”. The series captures Dr. Blue and his partners’ lives as they juggle running a business while managing their family life filled with spouses, parents, in-laws, children, pets and friends, as well as their intense moments saving the lives of animals at their clinic.
He and his partners are now opening their fourth and newest location of their Cy-Fair Animal Hospital with an additional partner, Dr. Bianca P. Kirkland, which makes the Houston native the first black woman veterinarian owner in Houston, Texas.
