Founder & Technical Program Manager

The Institute of Techgronomy was established to pioneer the integration of advanced technology with sustainable agricultural practices, creating a new paradigm for rural communities to thrive while protecting natural ecosystems. As founder, I built this organization from the ground up to serve as both an educational institution and innovation hub, bridging the gap between cutting-edge engineering solutions and real-world conservation challenges.

Our work focuses on three core pillars:

1. Technological Empowerment
We developed hands-on training programs that equip farmers and ranchers with practical skills in IoT systems, data analytics, and precision agriculture tools. Through partnerships with tribal nations, universities, and government agencies, we’ve implemented sensor networks and monitoring platforms that have demonstrably improved water conservation, soil health, and habitat preservation across working lands.

2. Conservation Innovation
The Institute’s flagship project—a USDA-funded $500,000 initiative—demonstrated how cloud computing and edge devices can transform environmental stewardship. By creating accessible frameworks for implementing these technologies, we’ve enabled previously disconnected rural communities to participate in data-driven decision making that benefits both their operations and surrounding ecosystems.

3. Sustainable Systems Design
Beyond individual tools, we architect holistic solutions that consider technical, economic, and social factors. Our approach combines hardware prototyping (sensor networks, automated monitoring), software development (data visualization, predictive analytics), and community education to create lasting change. This systems-thinking methodology has been adopted by multiple conservation districts as a model for 21st-century land management.

What distinguishes Techgronomy is our commitment to making advanced technologies genuinely useful at the grassroots level. Every program is designed with three questions in mind: How does this solve an immediate problem for the landowner? How can we measure its conservation impact? And most importantly—how will the community sustain it after our team moves on?

This philosophy has led to tangible outcomes: measurable reductions in water usage, improved crop resilience, and new economic opportunities for participants—all while advancing habitat protection goals. The Institute continues to evolve as a proving ground for technologies that harmonize agricultural productivity with environmental responsibility, guided by the principle that the future of farming must benefit both people and the planet.
