Plan
My background is in materials engineering and manufacturing. I have a B.S. and Ph.D. in engineering focusing on designing advanced materials and manufacturing systems. I have over 14 years in higher education and research. I want to utilize some of these new advanced design systems to make farm lands smarter, that can work with the land, and give back to the community.
I do not come from a family that owned a farm or land. I am a hard worker and I enjoy working with my hands to make something new. I'm interested in making something tangible to help feed my community.
I am interested in having a farm with produce, such as cattle, chickens, and goats, as well as growing crops. I have experience in advanced materials and system design, but I am interested in learning from seasoned farmers on working with the land.
