About

Layer Genetics Regional Sales Manager with a background in layer and pullet operations, management, and nutrition. I am fortunate to have worked with many different production systems and feeding programs, as well as a wide range of egg production goals and specialty markets. My background in leadership and team management comes from my years as a Sergeant in the US Marine Corps, as an military policeman, SRT operator, and foreign weapons instructor. Eggs are a vital part of our daily menu, and I will always work to spread the good news of Egg Nutrition and promote Egg Consumption!
