Chris Flenner

Patterson Veterinary Supply

Born and raised in Miami, FL, Chris attended Auburn University where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Science.  After graduation, he worked for Carroll’s Foods in North Carolina on a 1500-sow (farrow to finish) hog operation.  In 1991, he was hired by Webster/Patterson Veterinary Supply as a territory manager, now working in middle Tennessee.  With his 25th year of service coming up, he still loves his job and the company.  He enjoys waking up every morning and calling on the veterinary community.  He is thankful to all his clients for their friendship throughout the years!

He currently lives in Smyrna, TN with his dog “Ollie”.  During his free time, he enjoys golf and boating on the local lakes of Tennessee with his friends and his first mate “Ollie”.  He also travels with his boat throughout the south and mid-west participating in charity events and “Fun-Runs”.
