Our Boards 

Since Misty Acres Farm was founded in 2015, Julie has worked tirelessly to build and maintain a sanctuary for rescued animals, as well as for all who visit. Over the years, her purpose remained clear: rescue and retirement for the horses that need it most, and sharing the love of horses with the people that need it most.

Tony is a US Navy Veteran and an MBA with global level financial management experience. He has past experience on the boards of nonprofit and industry associations.  A life-long animal lover, he is a natural with the horses and they gravitate to him. His extensive experience in nonprofit and for-profit leadership will help us guide the activities of Misty Acres Farm & Sanctuary.
