Commuting via road, planes and running trails, Elizabeth, Colorado is where I call home as I hit the roads to help over 15,000 farmers, ranchers and members of the beef community share their stories when you ask questions about the food on your plate.

Growing up on the family ranch in Arkansas, I've made a career in agriculture, experiencing beef from conception to retail.

I'm a proud alumnus of Oklahoma State University where I studied beef cattle reproduction and nutrition.

I am nationally recognized for my work in advocacy and communications, including awards as Advocate of the Year and Top 10 Industry Leaders Under 40, by industry organizations.

When not at work, and even when on the road, I can be found on the trails running everything from a 5k to 100k ultramarathons.

You can find my story of Beef, Running and Travel at BeefRunner.com or find me on social media as @BeefRunner.
