I moved to Saratoga Springs in 2014 as an exercise jockey at the race track. I rode thoroughbreds at speed all over the world & landed here. I fell in love with Saratoga and decided to stay. With my background in accounting, I decided to start a mortgage business, and now I am a top 1% in the country mortgage loan officer. I still love calling Saratoga home & enjoying the racing when it comes around each year.
