Armando started his career as a groom and groundskeeper for Michelle’s mother’s Cross Creek Farms in Tucson in the 1980’s. When the show horses transitioned to California competition under Michelle’s tutelage, Armando was part of the package. Now with approximately 25 years of employment under the Cross Creek banner, Armando is a superb horseman who provides outstanding care for the valuable show horses on the road, skillfully drives the six-horse trailer, and puts in some time landscaping the facility when at home between shows. Armando is truly an invaluable member of the Cross Creek West team.
