Summary

I am passionate about preserving and enhancing the ranching and beef production industry. My ranching heritage is deep-rooted with a current direct connection in Southeastern New Mexico, which drives my desire to assist local ranchers in acquiring resources to increase the wellbeing of our working lands in this area.
