A physicist turned farmer and CEO, I’ve channeled my energies over the past decade into developing a vertically integrated sustainable livestock farm and founding Grass Roots Farmers’ Cooperative, dedicated to changing the way meat is produced and consumed across the USA. An entrepreneur at heart, I’m committed to innovating and embedding the latest thinking into every aspect of the business, from regenerative agriculture to blockchain technology.

I’ve been recognized in this field, having been featured in Forbes’ “Up and Comers”, receiving a Wild Gift Fellowship and being named Young Entrepreneur of the Year by the Hitachi Foundation. In 2015 I was also named as an Arkansan of the Year by Arkansas Life.

I am a regular speaker on the pasture-based farming circuit commenting on the state of regenerative agriculture, animal welfare, sustainability and using blockchain technology.
