Owner & Instructor
Training since 1993 & Teaching since 2003
Favorite part of teaching: While teaching the handling skills and proper obstacle performance is always rewarding, my favorite part is coaching the teams. Finding out their goals, building a plan to help them achieve those goals, and being there to celebrate in their victories.
Most memorable accomplishment: My most memorable experience in recent time was winning the 2018 Silver Medal at the FCI Agility World Championships. It was Swift’s first year on the team and I wasn’t even sure we had run clean. To turn around and look at the Jumbotron and see our names in 2nd place was unbelievable.

Favorite Part of Teaching: Getting to watch my students and their dogs improve and ultimately achieve their goals.
Most memorable accomplishment: My WAO Pentathlon Gold Medal in 2016 with Dreamer was an incredible individual achievement.
