About Dean
Dr. Hendrickson grew up on a farm in northern Montana and wanted to be a veterinarian from a young age. He was fortunate enough to have a family that supported him and helped him to achieve his goals. He came to CSU for veterinary school and had faculty members encourage him to pursue a career in education and it has been amazing. He really enjoys helping patients and clients and is excited to spend time with students and the incredible staff. He is married to a wonderful woman, has 3 grown kids that are all married and living in the Fort Collins area, and has 4 grandsons.
