Experience
Colt always wanted to write about animals and found the courage to pursue this dream after rescuing a six-month-old Italian Greyhound mix. After spending four years creating digital content for personal injury lawyers, he pivoted and began writing and editing content for PetMojo, a Montreal-based blog. Not long after, Colt achieved a lifelong dream of reporting for the American Kennel Club (AKC), where he had the honor of covering the 2024 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. He's had the pleasure of interviewing the coaches of canine athletes, veterinary professionals, and academic researchers to create informative content. Today, Colt continues his work with the AKC, continuing his mission of helping dog owners give their pets the best life possible.
