Biography

John attended both UC Davis and the University of Arizona. His undergraduate degree is in animal science and agricultural economics with emphasis in business management. His graduate studies were in range management and his thesis research was on grazing behavior. He is a member of both the Society for Range Management and the American Society for Animal Science and served as president of the Cal-Pac section of SRM in 2008. He holds license #23 as a Certified Rangeland Manager by the California Board of Forestry and is also a Certified Rangeland Professional #CP01-495. Presently he is the secretary/treasurer for the Mendocino/Lake Wool Growers Association and is ad hoc Director of the Mendocino/Lake County Cattlemen’s Association. 2022 marks 31 years as the UCCE Livestock & Natural Resources Advisor in Mendocino and Lake Counties. During that time he has served as County Director in both Mendocino and Lake Counties off and on for a little less than half that time. He served, statewide, from 2014 to 2017 as the UC ANR Strategic Initiative Leader for Sustainable Natural Ecosystems.
