There are 820 million hungry people in the world.

The challenge for our generation:

Find sustainable methods to feed a growing population on a planet with dwindling resources.

My interest in sustainable agriculture began while working with Quechua farmers in rural Bolivia during my Peace Corps service. After working in Ireland as a landscape foreman, I came to Auburn to learn more about agriculture, and the soil that sustains life and civilization.


Currently I run field research projects, as well as several laboratory studies, coordinate the Auburn Community Garden, and advocate for increased local bicycle use. I am very interested in international agriculture, particularly in developing countries.
