Ann was in business for 20 years selling horse trailers, living quarters, and travel trailers. Much of her personal success was due to her philosophy of always keeping the customers wants and needs in mind and realizing there is more to a successful business than simply selling a product. Her priority is to provide the service and information that assures the customer's goals are achieved. After leaving the sales business, she spent 26 years as a world class trainer in competitive horsemanship and showmanship. She has had many students compete for world titles. In this line of work, her primary purpose was not to be a horse trainer, but to be a coach and mentor who helps students learn how to set personal goals that are important to them. Knowing how to set goals for yourself as an individual, executing a plan, and achieving that goal, is a skill that carries over to all parts of life. These same tenants are applicable to GWRRA and to our Members' and our Leaders' overall experience.

Ed worked many years as an Instructor and Training Supervisor for the U.S. Postal Service. While with the Postal Service, he completed their Advanced Leadership Program. He also worked as a Manager and as Curriculum Development Specialist at the National Center for Employee Development. Ed has been a Member of GWRRA since 1988 and is also a Master Tour Rider #2533. He is a Senior Instructor and has served in many GWRRA Leadership roles; Area Representative, Assistant Region Director, Region Trainer, Region Director, and is currently Region Treasurer in Region H. Ed's background and experience will be a great resource for our leaders at all levels of the Association.
