I've been something of a nerd since 4th grade, when my teacher, Mrs. Carr, had me lecturing classmates about dinosaurs. My latest nerdly activity is right here, on @g Online, as the unofficial webmaster of Marketing. I edit marketing columns that are updated daily and I'm proud of the lineup we've recruited. It includes some of the best professional analysts - and commentary unique on the Web to our site, from Nebraska farmer Roy Smith, technical analyst Craig Coberly, Kansas wheat farmer Curtis Miller and Oklahoma cattle feeder Paul Hitch. For Successful Farming, I cover Washington policy, farm business management and marketing strategies and industry trends. My wife, Joan, and I served in the Peace Corps in Colombia, years ago. We worked with low-income cattle farmers. We have three children - two adult daughters and a 12-year-old son. I enjoy bicycling and mountaineering; Colorado's Long's Peak and Washington's Mount Rainier are my highest summits. Not long ago, I also ran (and powerwalked) in the annual Pikes Peak Ascent race. It was an interesting and rewarding experience. But, I think I enjoyed myself more just hiking to the summit the folowwing year with my son and one of my daughters. We had more time to talk and enjoy the views. |
