Summary

While my professional history outlines my knowledge for equine business ownership and arborist by trade, my family and I share a passion for two wheels. (My son is the motocross kid and my wife and I ride for fun.) I am an extreme sportsman with a love for the outdoors. My favorite interests include fishing, hunting, skiing, and riding my harley.


For the past 11 years, I owned and operated my business in the White Mountains of NH offering year round guided horseback tours and employing 1-3 staff members. Equine business ownership improved my skills as a leader, a detail-oriented team player, and taught me how to successfully run a business. I sold my business in July of 2022 to create more time to take my (then 10 year old) son to Motocross races and events while also opening up a change in career path.


Prior to my equine business, I worked as a skilled arborist. I acquired my commercial driving license at age 20 while operating as lead foreman for an advanced tree service in VT. I am an extremely hard-working professional who learns quickly. I've always been committed to client satisfaction and consider myself an outgoing person who makes friends easily.


Whatever it is I'm doing, I do it with passion. And a lot of it. Thank you for your consideration. I would be honored to represent your brand and sell my heart out.
