About Me
I grew up in New Jersey where the family farm centered around Christmas trees, sheep, and cattle. I came to Nebraska at 18 to attend UNL, and received a Bachelor's in Mechanized Systems Management. My time spent here was mostly divided between the Rodeo Program, and working for the Ruminant Nutrition department. I currently live in Palmyra with my two dogs named Maggie and Goose.What is your position in the department?
Research Tech III and Rodeo Advisor.
