I have had dogs all of my life. I became involved with the GSD in 1975 and began judging the breed in 1992. I have served as President of and Recording Secretary of the GSDCA. I continue to own and show GSDs. I also now own a Doberman, but am not showing him at this time.

I am approved by the AKC to judge 12 of the Herding Breeds and have provisional status for an additional 8 breeds in the Herding Group.

I have judged Boxer, Chow Chow Sweepstakes and Weimaraner Sweepstakes. In addition to the Herding breeds, I have attended the Shar-Pei, Boston Terrier, Newfoundland and English Setter National Specialties.
