I wanted to be a trainer since I took my first class as a student in 1991. I enrolled in Companion Animal Sciences Institute, taking courses in evolution, learning, behavior, and training. I received my Dog Training Certification and later began assisting at CCSC until I became an instructor. I have a passion for studying evolution and communication in dogs and read any book and study I can, and considers how what I learn can be applied to training. I am a member of the Pet Professional Guild, a CGC/STAR Puppy trainer and evaluator, and a Family Paws Parent Education presenter. I have given several presentations to adults and children on behavior and bite prevention. I currently live in Columbia with my wife, daughters, and dog, Duncan.

All speaking engagements use a PowerPoint projection system. If one can not be provided, I can make arrangements to have one available with adequate notice.
