While I am a graphic artist by trade, you can find me on my horse every other minute of the day and night (or so it seems, especially to my husband).

Long Distance Endurance Riding is my hobby and is subsidized by my business of magazine layout and the occasional website building.

In 2005 I left an 18-year freelance job with Autograph Collector Magazine to add "author" to my list of accomplishments, with a book titled American Endurance Rides: The Ultimate Guide. I also produced a 2006 calendar of Scenes from the Endurance Trail. You can check out my book at www.enduranceguide.com.

Since then, two other titles have been added under my publishing hat. In October of 2006 – a fabulous romp through the endurance woods, by the hilarious Angie McGhee, titled The Lighter Side of Endurance Riding,and in January 2007 Like Mother, Like Son, A Mom's Guide to Raising Healthy Children, co-written by mother and son team Blake Le Vine and Suzanne Wachtel.

I also found myself the owner of a stallion in 2005. His name is CF Sorcerer, and he is the sire of Granite Chief+/, our sport's 2004-2005 National Mileage Champion, and the Arabian Horse Association's 2005 Distance Horse of the Year. You can read more about Sorce and his Kids by visiting my "Links" page.

At the moment my "day job" consists of the layout of the print magazine Sports Market Report published by Collectors Universe. I am also the website administrator for www.johnnycash.com and have been since it's inception in 1996.
