How I got started with horses:
I have ridden from ponies through amateur owner. As a junior (late 70's), I was head groom for a major show farm, handling all aspects of our show needs including braiding. While establishing my career in finance and sales, I annually shadow-judged the entire Washington International Horse Show. All of my own showing has been at the A and AA level, beginning on the east coast as a junior and now with one of the top hunter trainers in the Midwest.

What makes me good at my work:
Experienced. Professional. Committed to excellence. Objective. Decisive. Fair. Respectful. I stay current on our rules. I have excellent paperwork. I make sure to prepare before each show day to ensure I know the rules of each class I am to judge. I am a constant student of our sport and thrive on learning, developing, and improving to bring the very best to the judge's job.
