What I Do at West Point Thoroughbreds
As Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, I oversee the financial, administrative, and day-to-day operational functions of West Point Thoroughbreds. My role includes both strategic leadership and hands-on execution, with a focus on creating a high-quality experience for our Partners.
Much of what happens behind the scenes at West Point is not immediately visible. Managing a roster of over 125 horses, along with the operational needs of a growing team and Partner base, requires constant coordination and adaptability. It is both challenging and rewarding—and no two days look the same.
Perspective on the Role
Horse racing has been a constant in my life. I grew up attending Saratoga and spending time around horses from an early age. Being able to combine that lifelong passion with my professional career is something I don’t take for granted.
One of my core priorities is making ownership as seamless and enjoyable as possible for our Partners. We handle the complexity so they can focus on the experience. That means clear communication, transparent financials, and a commitment to continuously improving how we operate—whether through better processes, thoughtful service, or the integration of new technology.
West Point has also given me the opportunity to build lasting relationships and travel to remarkable places, an added benefit of being part of this industry.
Background
I grew up just outside Saratoga Springs, where horses and open space were part of everyday life. I started riding at a young age and quickly developed a deep connection to the sport.
I attended Syracuse University, where I was a member of the rowing team, and graduated from the Whitman School of Management with a focus in accounting.
After college, I began my career in public accounting in New York City before returning to the Saratoga area to join a regional firm. I joined West Point Thoroughbreds in 2010 and have been here ever since, growing with the company as it has evolved.
Along the way, I earned my CPA and settled back in Saratoga Springs, where I continue to live and work today.
