“Few people in grooming have influenced our industry in such a dramatic fashion,” stated Shirlee Kalstone. ”He was always an innovator, way ahead of his time.”
Establishing Nash Academy in 1979, John was also a respected international grooming judge, educator and speaker. He won the Cardinal Crystal Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Dog Grooming Industry. In 1988, John and Vivian Nash opened Nash Academy in Lexington, KY and they began an student exchange program with the Sepia School of Dog Grooming in Japan and the KK Grooming School, Frankfurt, Germany.
In 1998, Vivian and John Nash founded the International Judges Association for arm Dog Grooming Competitions, an organization dedicated to standardization and fairness in judging of dog grooming competitions worldwide. They also created the Triple Crown of dog grooming competitions, in which an individual could win prize money of $30,000, the largest ever offered in dog grooming competition history.
In 2004, celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Nash Academy expanded into the world of online training by offering online classes globally. In 2008, Nash, Inc. launched www.CanineReference.com, an online canine encyclopedia and in 2009, they launched www.GroomersReference.com, an online reference with illustrated guides for bathing, grooming and styling every AKC breed. In 2009, Nash opened Nash Europe.
Donations may be sent to the Nash Brighton Project, c/o Global Gain, 449 W. Sixth St., Lexington, KY. This project was established by John and Vivian Nash in 2009 to establish a school for the poor in a small town in Jamaica, that they loved.
