I don’t remember a time in my life when I was not around, on or under a horse. I had my first horse at age six and have never looked back. 

My whole life has been an apprenticeship it seems from the time I was ten until even today. I continue to learn more every day about my trade.

I started my carrier shoeing Tennessee walking horses, American Saddle breeds and draft horses. Then started to do Quarter horses, Paso fino, Arabs, TB.  While in Germany for five years I shod Hunters, Jumpers  and dressage horses.

While in the U.S. Army I was assigned as Non-Commissioned Officer in charge, and Section Farrier of the  U.S. Army Field Artillery Half Section at Ft. Sill OK. The only full time horse drawn artillery section in the U.S.

The past thirteen years has been full time behind the anvil and under a horse. While in KY, I was able to work with some really great Vets like Steve Wills , President of Kentucky Vets Association and John O Brian in Bowling Green.

I have also had the chance to work with some really great Farriers like Paul Turner and Tim Carothers.

Now in Dubai, I am the Farrier for H.H. Sheik Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum at one of his private stables.
