He received his Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky in 1986, specialising in forage management and utilisation, minoring in ruminant nutrition. He was the forage extension specialist at Oregon State University from 1986 to 1992.

He is an advocate for ruminant animal agriculture and its products, speaking to audiences in several countries about the role of ruminants in humanity’s past, present and future. He strives to build bridges between his agricultural tribe and his lowcarb/keto/carnivore tribes.
