3. Interests
My free time interests include coaching the Memorial and Fall Creek High School Equestrian Teams; I am
an AQHA Professional Horseman, and a BHS qualified riding instructor. I enjoy breeding and showing
my American Quarter Horses. I also enjoy spending time with my children and my dogs! My 21 yr old
daughter Montana qualified for a place on the AQHA-UK youth team to compete in Canada 2008,
representing Great Britain, graduated with Honors from Memorial HS, is a member of Mensa, and
currently completing her Bachelors in Psychology at UWEC. My 13 year old son Dylan is currently a
student at Fall Creek Middle and has no idea what he wants to do after school. He says "probably
computer programming", he has time on his side. :) I used to breed and show Rottweilers in the UK and
have had several successes at Crufts, including breeding the Reserve CC winner in 1997.
