Dr. Rush grew up in a small town in central Illinois and always wanted to be a veterinarian. He graduated from Illinois College with a B.S. degree majoring in biology. He graduated from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in 2016. He pursued further training in a small animal rotating internship at Memphis Veterinary Specialists and a zoological and exotics medicine internship at Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. He developed a love for emergency medicine and spent five years in the Green Bay area before moving to Premier Veterinary Group Orland Park in 2024. 

When not working, Dr. Rush enjoys going on hikes with his chocolate lab, Luna, reading, gardening, and exploring the area.
