I have been involved in the sport of Schutzhund since 1988 and have been a member of GSSCC since 1988 and the UScA for 20+ years. I received my UScA probationary judges license in November 2010 and my full license in April 2013. I also received my GSSCC license in May 2013.Since then I have judged several Regional and National Championships in both Canada and USA and I am currently the GSSCC Head Judge I have raised, trained and handled 4 GSD’s to SchH3 (HOT) and 2 dogs from a SchH/IPO1 thru 3. I have also attained FH titles with two of these. I have competed with these dogs in many regional and national events in both working and conformation in both USA and Canada. I am a member of Lower Mainland German Shepherd Dog Club in B.C. Canada where I currently reside. (Since 1988) I breed 1 litter a year under the kennel name ‘vom Kleetal’ and I’m actively training a young female that I bred. I’m married with 1 son and 3 grandchildren.

My love of training dogs started as an 11 year old boy with a Doberman named Grunt and we were welcomed by the members of Richmond Schutzhund Club. I currently train at Lower Mainland German Shepherd Dog Club in Langley, BC with my German Shepherd, Nash vom Wolfsdreieck. I started helper work when I was old enough. I have been able to work dogs at club, regional and national competitions. Doing helper work is still a passion and love of mine. I am currently the National Helper Coordinator for the GSSCC. One of my goals was to breed and handle a dog to the WUSV. I was able to do this with Alvis vom Albi (aka Spike). My breedings have produced four dogs that have competed at the WUSV. As a handler, I have competed multiple times at club, regional, national and world competitions. Looking forward to the future as a trainer, helper and judge.
