General information
I've trimmed and shod horses for 12 years. A 1998 graduate of both the Wyoming and Michigan Schools of Horseshoeing, I've apprenticed with some of the finest shoers in Michigan: Kirk Lucas, Paul Melcher, and Joe Pillera. I've done clinics with and worked on-site with both Mitch Murphy and Richard Becker, CJF.
Recently, my practice led me to studying with Cliff Mortimer. I now offer barefoot alternatives to steel shoes for horses. I follow the principles of Dr. Richard Bowker's 'Physiological Trim'.
An Article on Dr. Bowker's Physiological Trim is here:

The Physiological Trim asseses first and then trims based on the anatomy of each horse. There is no one way to trim each and every horse; no one prescription for every animal. I treat all horses on an individual basis and as if they were my own.
I love my job.
~ Conditions of Performance ~
Animals must be kept under control at all times.
I require a clean and well-lit area to work in.
Payment is required at the time of service, I do not bill clients.
Be nice to me.
