..........
I graduated from George Mason University in 1999 with a BA in English and a concentration in Cultural Studies. I achieved certifications in Equine Sports Massage Therapy (2004) and Canine Massage Therapy (2005). I briefly worked as a farrier's assistant in 1999, and then as a Program Analyst for Northrop Grumman Ship Systems supporting the United States Coast Guard until choosing to begin a full-time apprenticeship and career in farriery with Paul Goodness, CJF TE, in 2004. In 2007, I helped create and manage the Forging Ahead Internship Program which was the first of its kind in the farrier industry and launched the careers of many now accomplished farriers. I then created my own company, Trave Industries, LLC in 2012.
I completed the American Association of Professional Farriers (APF-I) certification in 2019. I completed a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from Longwood Univeristy in 2022. I maintain memberships with HoofSearch (an exceptional organization created to keep abreast of all current research in the farrier industry), the American Farriers Association (AFA), the International Association of Professional Farriers (IAPF), and Equine Soundness Professionals (ESP).
I take a special interest in laminitis cases, foal development, and current technologies.
When I am not working, I enjoy designing my property, riding my horses, spending time with family and friends, and acquiring new skills. I completed the Accredited Professional exam for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) in 2010, and love being the only LEED AP farrier I know.
