As
a child, I loved riding horses every chance I could.
This love and enthusiasm motivated me to volunteer
as a wrangler at our church camp as a teenager.
After
high school, I readily enlisted in the US Army Infantry
serving in the Kosovo Campaigns in 1999, and in
Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.
While
stationed in Colorado Springs, I would volunteer
my time with one of the local ranchers. While doing
chores around the ranch one day, I truly realized
my passion for horses and my love for teaching and
I knew those were the things I wanted to build my
life around.
After
my military experience, I attended John and Josh
Lyons Certification Program and received my certification
in 2004. I then established PB Equestrian L.L.C.
and have enjoyed teaching my training philosophy
of horsemanship since that time.
And
for the grande finale: I married my beautiful wife
Mindy on October 2, 2006!
