About me

I have served as the Chair of the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science at The Ohio State University since 2021. In this role I serve the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences by facilitating the department’s diverse teaching, research, and Extension programs. The mission of our department is to "sustain life and grow the future for Ohio and our world through innovative plant science". Prior, I worked as Professor of Horticulture, specializing in sustainable turfgrass systems, and as Interim Assistant Experiment Station Director at the University of Arkansas.
