Prior to entering the world of dog training I spent a number of years as a computer programmer and software design engineer.  As a certified SCUBA diver I spent a few years as an exhibit diver for the Seattle Aquarium diving into their Pacific Coral Reef exhibit and their Puget Sound Underwater Dome.  In my free time I like to spend time with my own dog, Chance, go camping and exploring.  I'm also an avid amateur astronomer and like to take my telescope up into the mountains on summer nights where the air is thin and skies are dark.  At other times you may find me strumming out a tune on my guitar or spending time with the dogs at the Seattle Humane Society.  So much to do, so little time.
