Biography

I have been with SDSU Extension as a Range Field Specialist since October 2012. I specialize in range, pasture, and grassland management with an emphasis on educating producers about how profitability and ecological balance are complimentary. Focus areas/areas of interest also include alternative grassland management tools such as fire, biological control, controlled grazing, and reduction of artificial chemical inputs for systems health. Prior to SDSU, I was a land manager for The Nature Conservancy for their southwest Minnesota and Eastern SD programs.

If you would like my CV or more information, please feel free to contact me at my sdstate email address noted above. Thank you!
