A former corporate executive turned entrepreneur, she previously founded and led 2 pet businesses in Utah. Critter Buddies, a full-service pet care company providing expert in-home care, boarding, transport and training, and Utah Pet Education, providing pet CPR, first aid and wellness classes to pet professionals and pet parents in Utah.

SInce moving to Florida, Nancy now devotes her energy to educating others through Pet CPR, First Aid, and Care & Wellness classes with her Central Florida-based company, The Pet CPR Academy.

Nancy also teaches nationwide as she and her husband, Phil, adventure across the country in their motorhome for part of each year. The two share their lives with Gracie, a very sweet 9-pound rescue pup they adopted while traveling in Mexico. Gracie is now a seasoned traveler and road tripper herself, and is never far from Nancy’s side.

Over the years, Nancy and Phil have been lovingly “owned” by two Brittanys (Sage and Aspen), two mules, several horses, and a lively flock of chickens. When Nancy isn’t teaching classes, walking dogs or working with other animals, you can find her kayaking, camping, hiking, fishing, scuba diving, riding horses, skiing, travelling and enjoying other outdoor activities.
