Ally Specter

(she, her, hers)

Operations Manager

Ally has always been extremely fond of two things: her menagerie of pets during childhood and working in an environment with passionate individuals. With Ally’s work at Veteos, the two work hand in hand. Client satisfaction and employee engagement are at the center of everything Ally pursues. Coming from a Human Resources background, Ally brings a high level of organization and value for efficient systems and processes. Ally spends her free time watching anything Star Wars related, listening to Sam Cooke, and having fun in the beautiful Colorado sunshine.

During his rare moments away from a camera, he enjoys running, mountain biking, and obsessing over every Apple product.

Caro grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which provides her with an elemental cultural perspective when it comes to generating content for Spanish speakers.

Clay is excited by his work at Veteos and an important part of our team.

Angela Sai

Motion Graphics Designer

There were two passions in Angela’s childhood that never left: drawing, and a love of animals. Angela pursued Illustration at Art Center College of Design whilst constantly browsing pet adoption sites. She has since found the perfect four-legged companion, and worked with several tech startups to bring delight onto the screen. At Veteos, she is thrilled to finally combine art/animation, animal welfare, and storytelling. When not working, Angela enjoys spending time outdoors with her mini Aussie and playing video games.

Ben Spinks, MBA, CVPM

Co-Founder, Business Advisor

Ben Spinks temporarily (or so he thought) entered the veterinary industry in his current capacity in 2004. He planned on helping a veterinary practice “run some numbers” over the summer to delay his inevitable entry into the corporate world. That one summer stretched longer than he anticipated, and he’s been the Hospital Administrator of Tipp City Veterinary Hospital ever since – now as a co-owner. Always fascinated with his cousin Craig’s video projects, he jumped at the chance to collaborate with Craig and form Veteos. Outside of his roles with TCVH and Veteos, Ben helps organizations solve issues, maximize growth, and improve business performance (Branchworth). He lives in Tipp City, Ohio, with his two pups and thoughtful cat.

Nick Mathias, DVM

Co-Founder, Veterinary Advisor

Dr. Nick Mathias graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007, but his roots in veterinary medicine and his connection to both Vetoes co-founders run deeper. Nick comes from a family of veterinarians and co-owns the Tipp City Veterinary Hospital with his father, brother, and Ben Spinks. His first official job in the industry was in the lodging facility at TCVH in 1998, alongside Ben. He first worked with Craig and Quadrid Productions in 2003, the year before entering veterinary school. Nick practiced medicine full time at TCVH until 2015 when he transitioned to a technical services/educational role with an animal health company. Nick’s professional passion is to help veterinarians become heroes to their patients, clients, and staff. He has followed this passion and speaks nationally on related topics. He lives near Washington, DC with his wife, three kids, and an energetic standard poodle.
