My love for herpetoculture started in 1990 when I took a school field trip to the Pocono Snake & Animal farm. That day changed my life and formed my passion for all things reptiles. In 2002 I started working as an apprentice under a well known breeder at the time and a was like a sponge absorbing all the knowledge I could. I used this time to build my collection and by 2004 I had well over 150 ball pythons in my breeding program. In my apprenticeship I worked with multiple venomous species as well, including black mamba, boomslang, many cobra varieties, and many more. With the venomous days in my past I now focus on producing ball morphs that maintain their stunning visual patters and colors well into adulthood.

In addition I am a software engineer and am using that knowledge to build simple solutions and automation to problems I encounter on a daily basis as a breeder.
