At age 17, David Retamozo signed up to serve in the U.S. Navy for 4 years as an Electronic Warfare Technician. After completing his years of service, he set out to pursue his dream of becoming a veterinarian. He graduated from the University of Central Florida, and was accepted into the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida the following year. Dr. Retamozo was an associate veterinarian at McAbee Veterinary Hospital in Winter Park, FL for six years prior to purchasing Eau Gallie Veterinary Hospital in Melbourne, FL.

David says of the VBOC: “Without the help of the collaborative partnership of the Veterans Business Outreach Center and the Small Business Development Center, I would not have been able to realize my dream of owning my own practice. Brent from VBOC and Tom from SBDC were valuable in assisting me through the process.”
