2023

I continue to work full-time, enjoying the job. The horticulture industry was discovered by a lot of folks during the pandemic, and, although in 2022 we were back to competing with things like vacations for the consumers’ time, we are still up considerably from pre-pandemic levels. The workday hours are long including lots of business travel, and I continue to serve on several industry and USDA committees. In my spare time, I continue to stay very involved in bicycling, especially for Bike MS, a fundraiser, and nature photography, especially in Alaska.
