Biography

I apply science and technology to help growers manage their land effectively and sustainably. In my time at OSU, I've worked with Vegetable and Specialty Seed crops in the Willamette Valley and the pathology of grapes and pears in the Rogue Valley. Highlights include using a UAS (drone) to study plant health, variety trials and pesticide efficacy trials, and numerous peer-reviewed and extension publications. My PhD research explored the ecology of mycorrhizal fungi. Use the contact form to get in touch if you want to talk!
