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. My Team Jumping Silver Medal in 2019 at the Agility World Championships with Swindle meant so much as it was a group effort where I was running not just as an individual but for my four-dog team.
