Blacksmithing is the part of my career I can share with everyone. As a professional farrier blacksmithing is a big part of my life. It is an honor to teach the art to new beginners just as my mentors before me. I take great inspiration from my old instructor Dusty Franklin, from FiveStar Horseshoeing school in Minco Oklahoma. I am also thankful for all the unlikely teachers that helped me develop my skill at clinics and contests around the nation, their kindness and patience is recognized, that environment and experience is something I strive to recreate for my students. Sharing my career is something I am passionate about.
