Dr. Powers attended Kansas State University and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science and Industry in 2005. He attended Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine and received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in May 2009.

After graduation, Dr. Powers and his wife decided to move to North Carolina where he was part of a small animal practice for a year and a half.
