    I wear a few hats in the world of agritourism — as a professor at MSU, I teach Montana’s first undergraduate course in Agritourism and lead research on how this growing field supports producers and communities. I helped launch the original Montana Agritourism Conference, hosted the Fellows group, and continue to serve on the statewide steering committee.

    I’m excited to serve on the Board to share what I’ve learned — and to keep growing opportunities for producers, educators, and visitors alike.

    Favorite season: Fall (especially pumpkin patches)
    Bozeman picks: Bodhi Farms & 4 Daughters Flower Farm
    Always in my truck: A piece of baling twine — just in case
    Day off: Hanging out with the animals in my barn
