A lifetime of swine production, repair, construction, and maintenance experience and been involved heavily in swine facility design and drafting of new construction and remodeling, as well as overseeing many of those projects to completion in the field. I was involved in some of the earliest sow farm filtration projects in 2007 and have been involved in retrofitting or new construction for filtration in over 17 farrow/wean facilities since. I have spent the majority of the past 8 years consulting on business and product development in the live animal space with a emphasis on swine. My involvement has included ground up on product design, to slight modifications of existing products to better fit the industry. As well as consulting on strategy to live animal production market entry.
