1.) What are some of the highlights and successful moments in the 2015 show season for you?
2015 started off with joining Royal Arabians, a great team with a great group of horses. Scottsdale started off the season strong, with a win in the international yearling filly class with the Royal bred filly, Royal Valtina, and a Championship in the Half Arabian Geldings with VSH Dominic. Success continued through the regional season with multiple regional championships at Regions 1, 3 and 7. A great year came to a close with multiple top tens at US Nationals.
2.) Who has been your biggest influence in the Arabian breed in getting you to where you are today?
The biggest influences have been the great trainers I developed under. I learned the welfare of the horses is the most important part of this industry. Each one has affected me greatly. Instilling hard work, honesty, and dedication to all aspects of everything involved with these amazing animals. They are Chris Anckersen, Michael Byatt, and Andy Sellman. Thank you all for everything I learned and entrusting me with your with the care of your horses.
3.) If someone were to describe you, what would they say about you?
Well I would hope they would say he is good hearted person. He tries to help whoever needs it, whether its physically or mentally. He cares about his friends and their well being. He loves his horses and always tries to treat them with respect. Occasionally he is sarcastic and has a good sense of humor!!
4.) Name one show ring quirk you have:
Well apparently I have started sticking my tongue out when I get intense. I will try to work on that!!
