I'm anticipating graduating Autumn 2025
Research Focus:
My research project is studying wheat and how different planting dates, and nitrogen application rates, affect wheat production. More specifically, determining the ideal time to plant wheat in Ohio that reduces the impact to yield that can be caused from insect and disease pressure, as well as utilizing planting date and cost of nitrogen to provide growers with the best economic return from nitrogen applications.
Why OSU?
My path to OSU is interesting. I was in graduate school at NC State, and then in July 2023 my wife was hired to be the head coach for the women’s lacrosse team at OSU. I immediately researched OSU and the HCS department and knew it would be a good fit for me and my interests. I then reached out to the HCS department and got in touch with Dr. Lindsey. I was able to be placed in a graduate research project that allows me to continue pursuing my passion in agriculture while completing my graduate studies.
