I’m CEO & Partner at Houndry, a multi-state, multi-brand pet-care company. I’ve worked in pet care since 2003, founding and operating pet-care businesses before helping lead Houndry’s growth.
I wrote Help! I Got a Puppy, a guide to the things every new owner should know, with the practical advice I wish someone had handed me early on. I built this site as its free companion: a place to go deeper on those ideas and get clear answers to the questions that come up most, so new and prospective owners can make good decisions and enjoy the rewards of having a dog.
I direct and review everything published here. Some of it I write directly; the rest comes through our editorial process, with AI-assisted research, organization, and editing, but in the end, I am responsible for what goes out. You can read exactly how that works in our editorial standards.
I live in NYC with my wife Jeanette and our dog Ranger.
