I have had Dobermans in my home since 1993. After several heartbreaking losses to DCM, we decided to go through a DPCA breeder to find a healthy dog and, of course it had to be a red boy; anyone who knows me knows they are my heart. I ended up getting a red boy from Denmar Dobermans.

When I got my Doberman in 2011 from Denmar Dobermans, I also decided to dabble in the show world. It was a downhill slide from there (lol). We not only tried the show ring, I ended up trying various other sports and we learned so much along the way.

I became involved with my local chapter club, Miami Valley Doberman Pinscher Club, of which I am currently the President. In 2013 I joined the DPCA and became an active member, first as the Breeder Referral Chair and currently as the Futurity Director.

I have been in the financial services industry for over 37 years and am currently a Compliance Manager for Fifth Third Bank’s registered investment advisors. When I am not at a dog show, I can be found at the baseball field with my stepson Nicholas’s travel baseball team. I currently have two red boys in my home, Titan and Beamer.

I am honored to serve on the Board and give back to the breed I love so much.
