Interests:
My wife, Nadine & I raise American Morgans & AQHA horses. We both love to ride/show horses. I rode some when I was 10 for a short time but our family moved. I got back into riding the last few years. I received an early retirement as a Building Official/Inspector in 2009. I started riding much more that summer, an average of 20 to 40 hrs per week.

Both Swasey & Whiskeytown Recreation Parks are within riding distance for our home of 3 acres, on the west side of Redding in northern California. Whiskeytown has over 100 miles of trails near the lake and many creeks. These trails are well used by mountainbikers & hikers as well as a few horses.

I love to start horses of any age & take them as far as I can. We built our own home ourselves as well as the barn with arena & steel fences.

Ali, our 12 yr old Morgan mare, has always loved trail riding but dislikes arena work so I have been training her for endurance riding which she has taken to very well.

I'm look forward to this program & helping to save our nation's trails for the next generations to come. We both love to work youth in the area in the horse industry. Riding, driving carts, halter, trails and reining/cowhorse work. Hope to see you on the trails!
