I teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of Animal Science and Ruminant Nutrition. In addition to my teaching responsibilities I also hold a 40% research appointment at Texas AgriLife Research in Stephenville, TX where I conduct research in the area of nutrient management and ruminant nutrition. Additionally, I serve as the faculty advisor for the Tarleton State University Dairy club, Dairy judging team, and Dairy Challenge team.
I also serve as the Director of the Southwest Regional Dairy Center, where I oversee daily operations related to teaching and research.
My research interests include nutrient management from a nutritional, as well as an environmental standpoint. I am also interested in using novel plant secondary compounds to alter nutrient availability and metabolism in ruminant animals.
I am a member of the American Dairy Science Society and the American Society of Animal Science.
