Anyway, I went on to obtain a Business Administration and Finance degree from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. My love for the outdoors grew so much! I would fish or hike in between classes, I miss it.
However, a few months before I graduated, something happened that changed my life.
I got into a car accident that almost killed me, honestly, it is a miracle I am alive to tell YOU this.
I flipped my white GMC Yukon going 80 miles per hour to avoid hitting a deer. I escaped with only a minor cut on my elbow. It truly was a miracle and my Yia-Yia (grandmother in Greek) who just passed away a few days prior had to be looking over me! I was actually heading back to school after attending her funeral.
Well, to keep it short. That accident totally changed my perception on life!
"The accident that almost ended my life made me realize that life is too short to not do what you love. It propelled and motivated me to levels I did not know existed. I decided I wanted to pursue my dream life, NOW! A huge goal of mine is to work and travel the world, helping people along the way. So, if there is ONE thing I wish to accomplish on this journey, it is to help you train your dog so you and your family can live a happier life. I am a firm believer that a well trained dog starts with a well trained owner and that is why I am here to HELP. This is where The Crafty Pup was born, in 2018."
I currently run the Dog Training at my family business, Carriage Hill Kennels in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. "I noticed a problem that I knew I could fix. We live in a world where people are super busy. Taking the kids to practice, dinners, meetings, the list goes on and on. Anyone close to me knows that I am a problem solver. I thought, what if I made it possible for people to train their dog ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, on ANY DEVICE! I believe that bringing my knowledge and expertise to the online community can truly be revolutionary and bring a lot of value to dog owners world wide, I want to be your dog training guy."
