I served on the RRCUS Board of Directors from 1996-2002 and founded the highly popular RRCUS Owner-Handler Award program. I am a founding member of the Greater Valley Forge Rhodesian Ridgeback Club, serving in several different offices for the club, and am also a long standing member of the Board of Governors of the Monmouth County Kennel Club. I am very interested in lure coursing and actively participated in RRCUS gaining recognition in ASFA Lure Coursing.

The majority of my Ridgeback assignments in the U.S. have been for RRCUS supported entries. I’ve been selected as a finalist for the RRCUS National Specialty judging both years I’ve been eligible.

I enjoy judging this wonderful breed and appreciate your consideration.
