A book that has captured some of my most inspired writings at sunrise on the farm.

Sir Winston Churchill made this quote famous. It’s a sentiment that all horse people understand:

“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of man”.  I completely agree.

I have worked with horses since I was 6 years old.  They are excellent teachers.

They teach us life lessons about ourselves and others.

In my career, I have been fortunate to learn so much from my work, my colleagues, other leaders, and great educational opportunities.  In retrospect, when I look back on my journey, I think I learned the most about leadership and teamwork from caring for, and riding horses.

Working with horses may look easy. But they challenge you to listen, be aware, adjust your actions, check in constantly, and build a mutual relationship of respect and appreciation.

I credit horses with building the foundation that helped me develop my business and leadership skills. They include problem solving, communication, critical thinking, adaptability, relationship building, the power of positivity, empathy, bravery, the value of hard work, teamwork, confidence, and perseverance.

Most importantly, you learn how to be humble while always being driven from a place of true passion.   

I look forward to sharing my lessons with you.
