I became the Director of the West Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center in Jackson in 2020. I originally joined the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology Department in 2002. I developed educational programs related to row crops IPM and also performed applied research including the evaluation of insecticide efficacy, GMO technologies, and other IPM tactics. I do not maintain an active Extension or research program in my current administrative role, rather assisting others with their efforts.
