I have been married to Selena for 25 years, and we are the parents of nine children. Last year we welcomed our first granddaughter into our family. We are third-generation ranchers, managing the operation my grandfather and father built in Secret Pass and Clover Valley, Nevada. 

I am a lifelong learner and have been applying and teaching principles of Holistic Management, soil regeneration, and biodynamics. We have mentored many young people seeking to get a start in agriculture. Some have gone on to purchase, lease, or manage ranches. We raise and market grass-fed beef, teach onsite and virtual classes, and offer internships on the ranch.

I am a lifelong rancher and have refined my practice of Holistic Management since I attended my first course with Allan Savory in 1987. I have extensive ranching and Holistic Management experience in the Northern Great Plains, the sagebrush steppe of Wyoming, and the Nebraska sandhills. I have demonstrated the ability to manage livestock to heal the ecosystem processes while increasing profitability.
