I have worked my entire career- nay, life- in Vermont agriculture. Raised on a multi-generation Central Vermont dairy farm, I am a first-generation University graduate. My career arc has traveled from cowshit-shoveler to garbageman to commercial fruit grower to agricultural research assistant. Presently, I am Interim Chair of Department of Agriculture, Landscape, and Environment (formerly Plant and Soil Science), Associate Professor of Specialty Crops Production and Director of the Horticulture Research and Education Center at the University of Vermont.
I have the best job in the world.
