Chris holds a Ph.D. in Animal Sciences from Washington State University (WSU), where he was among a prestigious cohort of National Science Foundation IGERT fellows trained to communicate nitrogen-cycling science to decision-makers. His dissertation focused on measuring methane and ammonia fluxes from intensively managed cattle feeding operations. While in graduate school, Chris earned a graduate certificate in Agroecology and Sustainable Agriculture from WSU. Over the last decade, Chris has worked on or led projects focused on Food and Agriculture policy at both the national and state levels with aims to overcome barriers to adopt best practices toward a sustainable agriculture system.
