I was born and raised in Frederick, Maryland, and spent 10 years in Sarasota before coming back home. I spent 18 years in the hospitality industry, where I learned patience, consistency, and how to work with people.

I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and am passionate about helping create happy, well-behaved dogs and confident owners. My dog, Rain, is my sidekick and little business partner; she loves to show off how fun she is and what’s possible with the right training.

When I’m not training, you will find me playing golf and spending time with my family.
