Managing Director
CurrentAs Managing Director, I am responsible for all commodity market research, developing and maintaining client relationships, and directing all business functions. I have used my expertise in commodity market research to help pioneer the agricultural consulting service industry. My suite of services helps individuals, organizations, corporations, and government agencies involved in agricultural services make better decisions. I accomplish this by leveraging expertise on commodity risk management and providing unique marketing concepts to enhance the decision-making process for those in agricultural production, biofuels, food service, processing, and financial services. My wealth of experience across 3 decades has made me a leading expert on the global agricultural economy and I’m proud to have published a number of industry-targeted magazine articles over the years as a thought leader in the Agribusiness space. I’ve also performed a multitude of speaking engagements, including radio and television interviews.I’ve learned over the last 30 years that, next to the weather, our firm is the one thing that can have the single biggest impact on our clients’ bottom line. This is a responsibility that I take very seriously. I work hard to help my clients get into a position to make meaningful decisions while minimizing the risk of taking those positions. My ability to reduce the noise out of what’s available in terms of market data and intelligence is paramount to our shared success and more importantly, has led to the formation and continuance of many successful long-term client partnerships.
