Over the past decade and a half, I've worked across 13 countries with more than 300 farms, from smallholder coffee cooperatives to blue chip multinational ag and food companies. I help farms improve crop quality and soil health by applying first principles of soil microbiology, plant nutrition, and ecological function. This work has given me detailed understanding of how agricultural operations function across scales—from the biological processes governing disease resistance and nutrient cycling to the economic constraints shaping management decisions.

My current work includes leading agronomic development at Row 7 Seed Company, where I optimize soil conditions to maximize genetic expression in specialty crop varietals, and serving as Senior Agronomist with Soil Capital Farming, where I design regenerative transition strategies for large-scale tree crop operations. I founded the Regenerative Coffee Guild, a science-based organization focused on advancing the technical development of regenerative coffee systems through farmer collaboration and rigorous field research.

I write The Confluence on Substack, examining agriculture, ecology, food, and health through systems-level analysis. My writing explores how soil microbial communities regulate crop performance, how nutritional biochemistry shapes human health outcomes, and how agricultural practices cascade through environmental and economic systems. I work to understand these domains by identifying underlying mechanisms and synthesizing evidence across disciplines—connecting what happens at the rhizosphere to what appears on our plates and in our ecosystems.
