I am an Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist in Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Wyoming.

I draw from my experience in regional economics and international development to apply microeconometric methods to agricultural and food value chain development. Through my work, I aim to shed light on factors that influence participation in the agricultural sector and contribute to the growth and sustainability of agri-businesses. By examining these critical aspects, I strive to develop insights that will help improve economic opportunities and foster a deeper understanding of the agricultural industry's potential for growth and innovation.
