Eileen was born and raised in Maryland as a horse-crazy girl of non-horsey parents. As a teenager, she worked at a riding school in exchange for lessons and was introduced to Eventing in 1975 and that was that!

Eileen competed successfully in Eventing through the upper levels on horses that she developed herself. Her success with her horse resulted in an opportunity to ride and compete even more.

She is an FEI Eventing Steward, Level 4, an FEI Eventing Judge, USEF Eventing Technical Delegate and Judge as well as a USEA Young Event Horse Judge.

Eileen was an Assistant Steward at 2010, 2014, and 2018 WEG

She was the FEI Eventing Chief Steward at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.

In addition to the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event,

Eileen has been the Chief Steward for the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill, Bromont Three Day Event CCI, Jersey Fresh Three Day Event & CCI, Plantation International CCI and the Carolina International among others.

She owns & operates a small, successful sport horse breeding and raising program of 35+ years. Her passion for the sport has allowed her to be fully immersed and to give back to Eventing as an Official.

Eileen lives in Maryland with her husband, Bill and they have three grown children and

3 (plus 1 on the way) grandchildren.
