Eli is the Queen City Road Runners head trainer and has never met a dog he did not like. After, accompanying his wife to assist with the New Orleans rescue effort, he rescued Blue. Blue was found emaciated and covered in fleas and ticks, abandoned on a local bicycle trail. Eli also completed all the state training required for Red Rover.
Together their rescued pups, Blue and Katie, became the founding members of the Road Runners, and the best of buddies. (They both wait for us now across the bridge.) Blue retired at the top of his game earning Flyball Grand Champion 50K and Iron Dog status.
Eli has traveled to multiple workshops including seminars by Aaron Robbins and Julie Jenkins to stay current with the latest training techniques. He also trained under the mentorship from Hyper Flight in Texas and Music City Road Dogs in Nashville.
Eli also loves to take pictures, so be warned! Eli’s dogs also compete in agility, lure coursing/Fast CAT, dock diving, and he hopes to begin herding with his new border collie, Ciara.
