I've studied pollination from every angle over the past decade, first as an ecologist tracking how plant-pollinator networks respond to stress, then leading applied research across 12 crops in 6 countries as the Global Pollination Expert for one of the most innovative ag biotech companies in the world.

I have advised on pollination management from family farms to global producers and built pollination management courses for two of the largest crop advising companies in the world. I currently provide pollination consulting services for leading berry and tree nut producers and am open to consulting for all crop types.

"I've watched growers spray for pests that weren't there, and invest in pollination products and services that went nowhere, when the real problem, poor pollination, went unmanaged. The true gap isn't bees, or technology. It's knowledge."

  • 10+ years in pollination science across research and applied practice
  • Applied research across 12 crops in 6 countries spanning 77 production cycles
  • Served as Global Pollination Expert at a leading agricultural biotech company
  • 150+ grower fields advised across berries, tree nuts, and row crops
