NAME:  Annette

JOB TITLE:  Owner/Founder and President of Orion Kennel Club, Inc.

JOB DESCRIPTION:  Book keeping, organizing duties and employees, maintaining a qualified staff and all other aspects of owning a business.

STAFF MEMBER OF ORION KENNEL CLUB SINCE:  I founded the company in December of 1987.

SPECIAL TRAINING AND SKILLS:  I have a two year degree in accounting and while earning that degree I started my home/office cleaning business.  Because of my love for animals, I decided to change my career goal to one that involved them and opened a small kennel in Rochester, Michigan.  After operating this kennel for 3 years, I gained enough knowledge and experience to be able to build and open a larger facility in Lake Orion, Michigan, which is still thriving to this day.

I am particularly adept at organizational skills, I have the strong desire to keep my employees contented, I am open minded, a hard worker and I am willing to try new things.

PERSONAL PETS:   My family and I have Bianca (setter/lab mix), Dominque (American Bull dog/mix) and recently adopted Carmella (boston terrier/mix), Bello (a red eared slider turtle), Mario (DSH) and Gino (a Turtle Dove).

HOBBIES:  I enjoy taking walks (with my dog along for company), tennis, yoga, reading, and traveling both alone and with my family.

PERSONAL GOALS:  To make my company the best of it's kind for consumers in Michigan, to be healthy and fit, to raise a well rounded exemplary citizen (my daughter), to maintain a good and healthy working environment, to be able to one day retire, sit back and look at a company that I am proud of.
