Reptiles have been in my blood every since I can remember. I grew up in Michigan and at the age of 5 years old I was lifting up tin to find and catch snakes, mostly blue racers, eastern hognose, gartersnakes, and the occasional massasauga rattlesnake.
I started keeping exotics while in the Navy and have had numerous herps come and go hoping to find my niche. The problem is, how can you find that niche when you like them all?
Keeping and breeding reptiles has been a very rewarding part of my life. If it were not for the animals I would not have met some of the best friends that I have or ever will have.
Last but not least, I would not have what I have if it wasn't for a tolerant wife who can put up with my obsession. And my three beautiful children, because they help me to be the best that I can be in everything I do and in the end they will be the secret to my success.
