Being a lifelong learner is a trait that is really important to me. Some lessons were learned in the traditional way, while others I have received from professional mentors, while working and in some cases, friends and family. My journey as a farrier started at a very young age as my father was my main mentor, I am a third generation farrier. At 11 years old I really started my learning journey supervised of course; but as of about 8 years ago I started shoeing for myself . I have apprenticed with many farriers which gives me a unique way of looking at each horse's situation and being able to adapt my skills to their needs.

I also posses other skills that compliment my trade such as welding I have been able to specially accommodate shoes by fabrication specialty setups to provide maximum comfort and stability to my clients.
