Terry Roth | Treasurer
Terry is a Certified Public Accountant with an advanced degree in Public Accounting and Corporate Finance. He started his career at the accounting firm Ernst & Young, LLP. Terry is currently the Head of Regulatory Affairs and Global Patient Safety Business Operations at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals in Tarrytown, NY.
Terry became passionate about horses as a young man in Colorado, helping his father manage the herd packing Elk out of a high-altitude camp each fall. During one hunt it snowed over 4 feet overnight, making the trip out almost impossible. Had it not been for the amazing pack horses breaking trail and lending their tails to pull the hunting party up steep ridges, the pack out would have taken days if not longer.
Terry is committed to championing the incredible mission at the core of Lucky Orphan’s Horse Rescue. “People Helping Horses Heal People”!
