Butch graduated from the Tennessee State Blacksmith and Farrier School in Bloomington Springs, Tennessee as a Certified Farrier for the Brotherhood of Working Farriers (BWFA). Shortly after graduation, Butch became a member of the American Farriers Association (AFA) and in 2001 completed the requirements for Certified Farrier. In 2003, Butch completed the necessary criteria and received his Certified Journeyman Farrier certification. Butch has been an active member of the Virginia Horseshoers Association (VHA) since 1993 and has served several terms as a Board of Director member and President . As a member of the VHA, Butch has had the opportunity to attend numerous VHA sponsored educational clinics and seminars.
