Born in October 1956, I work in the equine industry My work allows me to connect with both people and animals, and to make a positive impact on their lives. I have a great love for animals, especially pets, and being part of this industry brings me joy every day. I’m a lifelong lover of writing, reading, poetry, good music . I value family, meaningful friendships, and good, open-hearted conversation. I truly enjoy making a difference where I can. I’m proud to say I don’t just follow the crowd.I've often chosen the "road less traveled," and that has made all the difference in my personal, professional, and business life. People often comment on my smile, energy, physical fitness, sense of humor, and my "funny mixed accent." I consider myself affectionate, romantic, confident yet humble, down to earth, open-minded, and honest,what you see is what you get. I prefer real, open, and direct communication—no games.
