In 1996, co-founded Circle of Hope Therapeutic Riding, Inc. (CHTR) is a non-profit organization. CHTR offeres equine-assisted therapy to individuals with disabilities. CHTR began offering lessons on March 1, 1997, with 7 riders and grew to over 24 riders by the end of our first season.

I still work full-time for the federal government, but my passion is with the riders and the horses. I try to get to the barn as often as possible.
