I was raised in North western Ontario on a cow/calf operation with our horses which were used for gaming and handling the cattle.

I have a BSC in Agriculture from Guelph University. Following school I travelled and worked in Australia on a breeding farm. I have also work for Standardbred Farm Armbro in the breeding shed as well as doing yearling prep and sales. In 1998, I joined Gardiner Farms in the breeding division.

My interest in the overall farm management led to my position of manager at Gardiner and Paradox Farms. For the past couple years I have managed Mapleville Farms and I’m now branching out more on my own in the industry.
I am an owner in broodmares, yearlings, foals and racehorses and have a very keen interest in the overall health of our industry.
