Growing up in Wisconsin, I spent most of my time working at stables and riding with the United States Pony Club. In 2004, I graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Equine Science and Spanish. From there I headed east to Kentucky to work on a Thoroughbred breeding farm. I was accepted into the Kentucky Equine Management Internship (KEMI) and was placed on Trackside Farm.  This is where I had extensive experience preparing weanlings, yearlings, and broodmares for the Keenland Sales.  Upon finishing my internship, I remained at Trackside Farm for the breeding season where I gained experience in the day to day handling of foals, mares, and teaser stallions, natural breeding covers, foal care, and assisted with daily reproductive veterinary work.  After a year and a half, I realized out west is where I needed to be. I then headed to Montana and spent 6 months riding under Curt and Tammy Pate. And that is what led me to The Home Ranch!

          I was born and raised in Tolland, Connecticut.  I grew up riding mostly english and started work on my first breeding farm when I was in high school.  Victoria Arabians gave me my start and this is where I learned to collect, inseminate, cool and ship semen, foal out mares, and care for weanlings.  From there, I came out west to Fort Collins, Colorado where I studied equine science at Colorado State University.  While in school, I worked at CSU's Equine Reproduction Lab where I got  to see first hand a lot of the latest advances in reproduction.  I came to the ranch in 2005 as a wrangler and have been here for 4 seasons.  I graduated in the spring of 2007,  and I am now at the ranch full time.  This will be my second year organizing the Canadian Sport Horse Production Sale, and I look forward to helping you find the perfect weanling to fit your needs!
