Born and raised in southern Oregon, I have experience in private business having had a CNC manufacturing facility as well as a gourmet sauce company. My primary focus, however, has been in agricultural education serving as an agricultural educator and FFA advisor for nine years before going to Texas Tech for my doctorate. I am very excited to be part of the Vandal family and getting to explore the region with my wife. She and I enjoy good food, being near water, finding old cemeteries to visit and driving on roads we’ve never traveled.
