I’ve been a member of the DPCA for nine-years. I’ve packed a lot of experiences into those 9 years. I started off with a performance prospect in 2007 and that single Doberman blossomed into four. Sound familiar?

Club Experience / National Attendance

I am a member of the DPCD (Detroit) and took on the role of show chair 8 years ago, holding 4 independent specialties per year. Last year a dear friend, Heidi Boettcher, recommended me for the position of National Show Chair. I am pleased to say that the 2016 National was one of the most profitable and best organized (based on your feedback). Thank you to all of the volunteers that planned the event. I enjoyed meeting many members last year at the National. I’m currently serving as 2017 National Show Chair and DPCA Membership Secretary. I’ve attended the 2012, 2014-2016 Nationals.

Breeder Experience

Protecting the breed standard both through breeding programs and maintaining the current written standard is crucial to the existence of our beautiful Dobermans. Providing our breeders with the health tests they need to produce healthy Dobermans is a priority.

I have whelped 4 litters, co-owning several of those pups.

I have owned-co-owned four Top 20 Finalists, including the number one Doberman in 2014.

Volunteer/Work Experience

I have served in leadership positions as a volunteer that demonstrate my ability to work well and contribute within a volunteer run organization.

I have 30 years of work experience managing the delivery of Professional Services. Before I retired, I was the Director of Global Program Management.
