I am an agronomist in North Dakota with a Master's Degree in Weed Science from Purdue University. I live in eastern ND and have a passion for nature and agriculture. I grew up on a farm in western ND and found great enjoyment in identifying trees and weeds in high school. This influenced my decision to study agronomy as an undergrad. I love visiting National Parks and National Park sites, birding, and observing the nature around me. I've lived in and have observed nature in North Dakota, Indiana, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
