After years in the corporate world leading an international team of penetration testers helping companies and organizations find and fix potential threats, I realized I was unhappy in the corporate environment and looking for something more fulfilling. Fortuitously, Leading The Leash was taking off and my father needed help. Starting as the head of boarding for Leading The Leash I found the type of calling where talent meets skill. With the combination of learning on the job with my father, attending and graduating with a dog training certification from Animal Behavior College, volunteering at North Shore Animal League America, and training service dogs for a non for profit, I turned my talent into a very high level of skill. As a very strong advocate and practitioner of positive reinforcement, no matter whether it is puppy training, service dogs, and everything in between I have proven time and again that I am more than capable of handling any and all of your canine needs. The best part is that I wake up with a smile every day.
