My first agility competition was in 1996 with my All-American, Rikki. We had been training in agility for one year before that competition and I was already hooked. I have been interested in ethology and applied animal behavior since I was very young. Agility has given me a chance to blend my love for animal behavior with the thrill of competition. I currently have the pleasure of working and competing with my dogs Rikki, Papillon Emmett, and border collies Nimble and Remedy.

As a member of APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers), I enrich my knowledge with training seminars, camps and conferences as often as possible. I have been with Sirius Dog Agility Training Center since the beginning as a student and I am proud to contribute my skills as an instructor to the next generation of agility stars. Thank you John, Jan and Meryl for your insight and determination to give Atlanta a training center dedicated to excellence.

One can learn a lot when wandering through this wilderness with an animal friend,
particularly if one lets oneself be guided by its tastes and interests.   ~Konrad Lorenz
