My wife, Erica, and I are home to cats, dogs, goats, etc. We are animal lovers through and through. Erica took up riding later in life and participates in local horse shows with her beautiful Tennesse Walking horses. She shows her horses successfully in both English and Western disciplines. Erica works as a dental hygenist in Parma, Idaho.

We are conveniently located in Caldwell, Idaho. Ranch amenities include a large outdoor arena, a round pen, pasture, and covered horse pens.

I was born and raised in Germany and became introduced to training horses by Hartmut Keuchel, a European champion in reining and working cow horse. His knowledge and approach got me started in the field.

I moved to Ireland and lived there for four years where I continued to work with horses. In 2000, I came to the United States and began working at training facilities and ranches with several reining and cow horse trainers in Arizona, Minnesota, Oregon and Idaho.

With over 30 years of full time training experience, I gained great knowledge from trainers such as Ben Below, Monty Bruce and Jeremy Meador. I have shown in reining competitions and was a contestant at the 2008 Horse Affair. For over 9 years, I have been a familiar face at the Idaho Horse Expo in Nampa, Idaho as a clinician. I enjoy meeting people at my booth and am proud to be a supporter of our local horse community. 

I enjoy giving lessons to adults and kids as well as showing and teaching at clinics. Helping people learn to train their own horses, showing them how the horse can better perform, and creating a well-broke horse is what I enjoy.
