I began my riding career on the West Coast, primarily doing hunter/jumpers before moving east to train under David and Karen O'Connor. There I developed a strong foundation producing young horses and bringing them up to the top level. I have had the opportunity to compete overseas and complete multiple 5*'s with my partner Phelps with the hope that I can use all the experience I have gained with him to help my young horses when they are ready to step up to that level. Beyond being competitive internationally and wanting to represent the USA at championships, it is important to me to keep developing horses with empathy to get the best out of all the horses that come through my program.
