I fell in love with horse racing when I was 13 years old. My great-uncle had clubhouse seats at the racetrack, and my father would take my brother and me to spend afternoons watching the races. From that first experience, I was hooked—you couldn’t keep me away from the track.

As my passion for the sport grew, one horse in particular captured my attention: Paynter, the damsire of Counting Stars. While Paynter’s accomplishments on the track were remarkable, it was his incredible fight for survival during his illness that made him my favorite. Around that time, I connected with Ahmed and Justin Zayat, and over the years our relationship grew into a friendship. I eventually began assisting Zayat Stables with social media before taking on a larger role as Assistant Racing Manager. During my time there, I had the privilege of witnessing some unforgettable moments, including American Pharoah’s historic Triple Crown campaign and many other memorable victories for Zayat Stables.

After graduating from Siena College, I began my professional career in accounting and finance, gaining valuable experience in the corporate world while never losing my passion for horse racing. I always hoped the right opportunity would come along to return to the industry, and when the opportunity at West Point Thoroughbreds presented itself, I knew it was exactly what I had been waiting for. West Point’s reputation, continued growth, and commitment to excellence made joining the team an easy decision. I’m excited to combine my industry experience with my corporate background as I begin this next chapter.

A little more about me: I grew up in Glens Falls, New York, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting with a minor in Economics from Siena College. I’m the oldest of three siblings and enjoy spending time with my family and our black Lab. I’m also a lifelong New York Knicks fan, so watching them win the 2026 NBA Finals after a 53-year championship drought was a dream come true. I currently live in Saratoga Springs with my girlfriend.
