Ordained Pastafarian Minister and Licensed Wedding Celebrant- West Virginia.

I grew up in a small town in West Virginia. After graduating high school I attended Potomac State College and West Virginia University where I studied Animal Science and Agriculture.

I have 15 years experience as Animal Control Officer and during that time I received formal training in court procedure, grant writing, rabies control, sensitivity, stress management, vicious dog attacks, euthanasia, and animal behavior.

Later in my career I presented a 4-hour training lecture and several 1-hour lectures on law enforcement procedures to animal control officers and shelter workers from several states.  I have also given talks on dog bite prevention and rabies control at several schools throughout the area.
