In 2010, I graduated from Heartland Horseshoeing School in Lamar, MO. Since then, I became certified through American Farriers Association and am an active member of World Championship Blacksmiths. In 2018, I competed on the Category 2 Team at Stoneleigh.

As of now, I live is Sheridan, Oregon with my wife and daughter. Most of my time is spent continuing my education with competitions and clinics. The few days I'm not in the shop, I enjoy hunting, fishing, and traveling.
