Raymond, NE native, Jay Brooks always knew he liked science, but it wasn't until his senior year at Wesleyan that Jay shadowed a Physician Assistant and knew he wanted to care for patients. He knew becoming a PA was what he should do because each day working with the Physician Assistant never felt like it was work. He enjoys the variety of work that family practice physician assistants have and enjoys working in the emergency department. When Jay is not working, he enjoys watching Husker sports (especially football), Cubs baseball, hunting, fishing and woodworking.
