Thanks for visiting Soulful Equine. Assuming you ended up here because you want to know more about me, here are the highlights.
I was born and raised a Hoosier (Indiana dweller) but moved to Texas nearly 25 years ago. I’d heard that “everything’s big in Texas”, so being 4 foot 8 inches tall and already past my growing stage, I figured my best shot at hitting 5 feet was to move South.
So hear I am… still 4 foot something. In fact, I think I’m shrinking. (Note to self: Don’t fall for anymore of those infomercial type TV ads.)
Anyway, I suppose my story is a familiar one. Sometimes kids go off to college knowing full well what they want to “be” when they grow up. I wasn’t so fortunate. I LOVED science and math, but I had no idea what to do with those career-wise. I was even voted “Most Likely To Succeed in Science” in high school, but did that give me a clue?
Nope.
So I did what some would call the “safe thing”. Focusing on my love for numbers, I got my BBA in Accounting/Finance from Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana and took a job with Kimberly-Clark Corp. as a Financial Associate.
Since then I’ve had a couple of other jobs in Accounting, all in Texas. My career with numbers has served me well for many years and has provided for me and my family, for which I’m very grateful. I truly love detailed work, creating charts and playing in spreadsheets, and I love that it’s so organized and that there’s an order to everything. In the end, it all ties out! That doesn’t happen many places in life.
Another passion of mine has always been science and nature. In the past 15 years, my focus has been on health and nutrition. At first it was for myself and my family. Then in later years, I started applying that same knowledge to my four-legged companions. Since then, there have been some incredible stories of success… some with myself, some with my family and many with my animal companions.
My other big passion in life has always been movies… watching them, talking about them, quoting from them… and now making them.
Many years ago I got my feet wet by making a small video for a company I worked for at the time. In doing so I was awarded an Academy Award (fake though it was).
I have always wanted to work behind the scenes on a movie and lately I’ve been making my dream come true in a small way. I’m now officially Soulful Equine’s videographer. I have been studying some of the masters and have learned some incredible things so far. I know I still have lots to learn, but I’m loving every single minute of it.
Oh, and one other thing, I love to laugh and to make others laugh, so sometimes my articles or videos will be on the lighter side. Soulful Equine is all about helping people help their animals, and since they say laughter is the best medicine, you can bet that I’ll do my best to make you laugh a time or two.
So, that’s me in a nutshell.
Welcome to Soulful Equine. I’m so happy you’re here!
