I began judging Novice Obedience in 1966 and now judge all Obedience classes. In 1974, I began judging Conformation, starting with Afghan Hounds and now judge all hound breeds, all toy breeds and all non-sporting breeds. I also judge Junior Showmanship and Best In Show.

I have judged many prestigious Obedience and Breed assignments, including many national specialty shows throughout 49 states as well as several foreign countries. In 2001, I judged the Hound group at the Westminster Kennel Club Show. I am Obedience Chairman of the Lake Shore Kennel Club and a lifetime member of the South Side All Breed Dog Training Club, a member of the Afghan Hound Club of America and the International Kennel Club of Chicago.

In 2002, I received the AKC Lifetime Achievement Award for Obedience.
