Summary

Over 10 years of management and sales experience. Studied Business Administration at the University of Kentucky and ran Cross Country and Track for them. Have extensive international racing connections through training race horses and working sales. Lived overseas for extended periods of time training horses for multimillion dollar races in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and England. Have been involved with the Goff's Breeze up sale in Dubai. Met with foreign and domestic diplomats discussing sport relations, specifically between the Middle East and America. Working as an Assistant Trainer requires a rigorous 7 day/week schedule with ample travel and the ability to schedule the itinerary details . Possess strong communication skills from working with and calling owners/clients on a daily basis. Have worked for some of the top trainers and clients in the thoroughbred racing industry. Most recently competing in the Kentucky Derby with Disarm. Sales have been a constant component of the job from the beginning. Horses are an investment, and part of the incentive for success is being capable of aiding clients into the sale or purchase of a prospective race horse. Every facet of this business has taught me how to keep the clients and the staff happy. These two important details have always aided in a flourishing business model.
