I grew up on a small horse farm in north Georgia. I got my first pony when I was seven years old. Like most people who got a pony at seven I thought mine was the meanest pony in the world. We were best friends just the same.
My father is a writer so I traveled a lot attending high school in Kenya and spending time in Europe, New York City, Miami, Philadelphia and Washington DC, but I always returned to the farm in between globetrotting.
My background is diverse, but I believe every thing I’ve done has contributed to my skill as a Natural Hoof Care provider and horseman. I have worked as a wrangler, trainer, trail guide and carriage driver as well as a wilderness guide, mechanic, fire fighter, electrician, musician, luthier and even a hairdresser.
I am a perpetual student, an insatiable reader and a constant experimenter. Every day I learn something from everyone I meet and every horse I see. Most recently I’ve been pursuing an equine dentistry degree.
With my wife Annmarie, who does equine bodywork, I currently maintain a large hoof care and dentistry clientele in the south eastern United States. I teach hoof trimming and anatomy classes at our home in north Georgia on weekends. I also do one on one trimming instruction and travel doing clinics for horse owners and professionals.
In my spare time I have seven horses of my own and on rare occasions I try to improve my riding skills messing around with my own herd.
