My past service on the PTHA Board has shown that I am committed to strengthening the efforts of horsemen for safe and prosperous racing.  Being part of fund raisers for the backstretch workers and the Granny Youmans Scholarship Fund was meaningful for our horsemen to rally together for a worth while cause.  Keeping our unity while we raise awareness of changes we will be facing is very important to me.  Horsemen showing support for one another can only improve our strength as a group.

As a horse owner all my life, it makes your responsible for the welfare of your animals as well as the environment you make to be part of the sport.  I will continue to help and support our efforts for raising the standards of racing for owners.

There are many issues facing the horsemen as we realize the strengths of our slot program.  I will be working with fellow board members to extract our best interest for the horsemen.
