Summary

Student-Athlete majoring in government at Hamilton College. I have experience leading teams at the highest level, both on the baseball field and in the classroom. I am currently on track to attend law school following the completion of my undergraduate degree.

Work History

Groom and Barn Helper

Song Hill Farms
  • I worked at Song Hill Farms for H. James Bond as a groom and barn helper with around 45 horses. This is where I learned how to provide medicinal wraps, prepare horses for their workouts, and more general pieces of how to properly care for the animals themselves.

Manager

Willow Creek Equestrian Farm
  • I achieved the position of manager at Willow Creek Equestrian Farm. Here, I designed specified food plans, turned horses out in the morning, and prepared them for their jumping sessions or lessons. At Willowcreek, I oversaw the care of around 30 horses.

Groom and Hotwalker

Saratoga Racecourse
  • I worked as a groom and hot-walker for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott at Saratoga Racecourse. Here, I furthered my knowledge gained at Song Hill Farms and was able to apply it to on-track horses and watch my work garner positive responses. I played a part in the care of horses such as Cody’s Wish, Poppy Flower, Art Collector, and Casa Creed, who are all over 500,000 dollar earners.
