Share a little about yourself
I have worked in the publishing field for over 30 years. I worked for a Thoroughbred racing publication and for the American Saddlebred Horse Association before coming to USDF. I used to ride dressage and even played a little bit of polo when I was younger. I have always loved horses, and I am glad I am still involved with them.
Additional thoughts:
I have gone through a lot of changes in my career and had to reinvent myself a few times. Don’t be afraid to learn new things.
