He has been associated with these products for about 20 years and has helped to develop new products in the product line. He enjoys discovering the science behind these products and nutrients and developing new products for the dairy industry, traveling internationally to discover other ways to manage dairy animals. In his free time he is active with the Twin Falls Chamber of Commerce, The Twin Falls Optimist Club and Foundation, and Amazing Grace Fellowship.
