My journey started at about 12 years old, working with my own pet dogs. Then I joined the Army at age 18, working with highly trained Military Working Dogs in high-pressure, real-world environments. There I learned that your dog will work as hard as you clearly and appropriately ask them to.

After being medically retired from the Army, I began working as the Manager of Operations and Lead Canine Behavior Specialist at Phoenix Dog Training. There, under Will Bangura, I took a masterclass in severe behavioral issues, helping hundreds of families with issues ranging from severe fear, aggression, and anxiety to puppy socialization. 

Now, with Steller Dog Training I am bringing that same level of clarity, structure, and communication into everyday homes, helping families transform chaos into calm, and frustration into understanding.
