I was introduced to polo in my early years growing up in the Detroit Polo Club, where I learned to play and take care of horses through the summers. My parents, Emmalyn and Paul, have a combined 60+ years’ experience in the sport, managing the club, and even running a polo school of their own! I’ve been fortunate enough to play in many different areas of the country, including Texas, Wyoming, Florida, South Carolina—the list goes on! I’m very excited to be involved with the Oak Brook Polo Academy this summer. We have a great group of horses coming with us and personable staff that will make playing polo more enjoyable, and easier, than ever!

Horses have always been my passion. I have ridden many disciplines—everything from hunter/ jumper to Western pleasure—but nothing compares to the sport of polo. I was hooked as soon as I hit my first ball! I started playing in Rhode Island, and I have been lucky enough to travel the East Coast, playing and working with many unique individuals. Teaching polo has been my favorite way to express my love for the sport and share the knowledge that I have gained throughout the years. I am very excited to join the Oak Brook Polo Academy this summer, and I can’t wait to see you on the field!
