I have 23 years of experience, and specialize in the field of agriculture with specific knowledge in the areas of business, livestock production and direct marketing. I have published on such topics as the environment, land management and agricultural business management. I started out as a ranch hand near the Utah-Nevada border with $50 and a small car. Today, I co-own and operate a 3500-plus acre ranch where we raise and direct-market natural, grass-fed beef and lamb.
