Must Love Cats

About Me

I am a professional animal trainer in Chicago. While I train and provide many types of animals for film and photo work, I specialize in domestic cats.I have been featured in two books about animal training. They are "Cat Training in 10 Minutes" by Miriam Fields-Babineau and "Animal Movies Guide" by Staci Layne Wilson.I think it's important for cats to be provided with activities and play that keeps them stimulated and happy. Training your cat is a wonderful and fun way to interact with your pet and to give your pet a positive way to play.You can see my cats at www.circuscats.com and my resume at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1583499/resume

Cats (of course), scuba diving, horror films, travel, working out, dancing and the weirder side of life.

He was the animal trainer for the movie Willard, among many other films. He passed away not too long ago. He will be missed.I would love to meet Stephen King. He's a wonderful and talented writer and I have to admit that I kind of like creepy stories and films.
