 Gila grew up in Northern Virginia and attended Virginia Tech University where she graduated with a degree in Secondary Education in 1987.  Shortly thereafter, she attended a bid-for-bachelor fundraiser auction where, with her VISA card, she purchased her future husband.  His naval career was not particularly compatible with her teaching career, and the latter effectively ended when they married and proceeded to move about every 2 or 3 years.  Gila is a successful serial entrepreneur who found her deepest passion in working with dogs and their people.  In addition to building a successful dog training business wherever the Navy took her, she co-founded the award winning, nationally recognized lifestyle brand for dog lovers, Dog is Good, in 2007.

Gila is the recipient of several business awards including recognition as one of the top 25 women of Influence in the Pet Industry (2015)  by Pet Age Magazine.  Gila speaks professionally on "Life lessons inspired by dog."
