When did you know that you wanted to work in food?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I am not sure I have had an ‘aha’ moment.\u00a0 It\u2019s nice I have that to look forward to!\u00a0 I have had so many incredible experiences working in the field of food and farming.\u00a0 Each one has stoked the fire in me.<\/p>\n

I suppose I got my break as a young guy when I was given the opportunity to teach high school horticulture, agriculture and natural resources.\u00a0 I was knowledgeable and ambitious enough to teach my charges, but the opportunity provided me a launch pad to really take off and develop my own style in agriculture and education.<\/p>\n

How did you get your current good food job?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I am a born and bred Vermonter. \u00a0However, I left in the early 90s and settled in western Washington State. Over a twenty-year period I carved out a pretty nice deal for myself out there: vocational agriculture teacher, coach, farm owner \/ operator. I learned so much as a teacher. But my wife and I had started a family and we were looking for a change of scenery for ourselves and our two little ones.<\/p>\n

We began looking around in 2010 and 2011 for opportunities, and a Farm Manager position at the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps popped up.\u00a0 We explored the opportunity with the Corps but weren\u2019t able to make a deal happen right then.\u00a0 It was early spring 2011 and we had to get our own operation in Washington State cranked up for the season. We visited Vermont in July for a family affair and coincidentally University of Vermont Extension had a position opening right in my wife’s wheelhouse.\u00a0 During our trip we visited the VYCC campus and farm and mutually agreed that the potential here was off the charts.<\/p>\n

It was a long and winding road but to make a long story short we were both able to secure positions in Vermont and chose to take a huge leap of faith.\u00a0 Our kids John and Ruby were so young at the time\u00a0– what a gamble!<\/p>\n

How did your\u00a0previous work or life experience prepared you for a good food job?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I spent many years learning how to teach.\u00a0 When I started, I knew kids but I was a punk when it came to teaching.\u00a0 Luckily I was surrounded by incredible mentors.\u00a0 I am talking giants in their field.\u00a0 Superheroes!\u00a0 I was smart enough to watch, listen and learn.\u00a0 An unapologetic bandit.\u00a0 If I saw someone else use something successfully I stole it and used it in my classroom.\u00a0 I did the same thing in my coaching career. It is a pretty fool-proof strategy really.<\/p>\n

Later on I left teaching and worked for Washington State University Extension managing a county Master Gardener Program.\u00a0 I learned how to coordinate and collaborate with adults interested in sustainable gardening and composting. I honed the lessons I had\u00a0developed as a high school teacher.<\/p>\n

My coaching career quite possibly equipped me more than all others for what I do today.\u00a0 I learned how to build and guide a team.\u00a0 The subtle art and alchemy involved in the development of a group of individuals aiming on a common purpose is illusive to say the least.\u00a0 It is not easy to find pre-training for this type of work.\u00a0 Coaching really tested me in this way.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t realize how much I was learning at the time.\u00a0 I now call upon this experience\u00a0on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Over the years I have developed some core values that I have come to rely on for success:<\/p>\n

1. I always strive to be the most well researched person in the room.\u00a0 My inclination to try and anticipate conversations and dynamics for a planned event drives me to study in great detail the players and factors involved.\u00a0 I make their business my business.<\/p>\n

2. I never stop working or thinking about work\u2026.Ever<\/p>\n

3. \u201cBurnout\u201d is not in my universal vocabulary<\/p>\n

4. I surround myself with talent first and experience second.\u00a0 I feel as though I can train someone adequately who has the characteristics required for excellence.\u00a0 Experience rarely, if ever, makes up for a lack of work ethic, opportunism, steadfastness and the like.<\/p>\n

What was the greatest obstacle you had to overcome in pursuing your good food job dream?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My formal academic endeavors were less than stellar.\u00a0 I have had to try very hard and put more time into my work than if I had built a more stable foundation with my schooling.\u00a0 I look around now and see young people with drive, ethic, smarts and the academic training I did not afford myself and I think, \u201cWow they are going to go places and I mean FAST and HARD.\u201d<\/p>\n

Name one\u00a0positive thing that a former employee taught you that you continue to appreciate?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I have been extremely fortunate to work with and for great people.\u00a0 I am also proud that I have been able to take something away from folks who I didn\u2019t consider great.\u00a0 The philosophy that no one is inconsequential has been helpful for me in this light.<\/p>\n

One thing I learned from a supervisor that is worth sharing is a sequence about initiative and independence that he shared with me when I first started working for him.\u00a0 He explained how our working relationship would mature over time and how this would affect how I made decisions and took action steps to complete my work.\u00a0 Paraphrasing his message, it went like this:\u00a0At first you will come to me often and ask \u201cWhat should I do\u201d.\u00a0 This phase of our working relationship will not last very long.\u00a0 You will learn quickly how I approach decisions.\u00a0 After that you will come to me and say \u201cThis is what I am thinking about doing.\u00a0 What are your thoughts?\u201d\u00a0 This middle phase will take some time -much longer than the first and last.\u00a0 Finally you will begin to come and say \u201cThis is what I did, how do you feel about it?\u201d Now and again we will revisit an earlier phase but over time these occurrences will become few and far between.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have used this theory in managing\u00a0my program and supervising others.\u00a0 It is an effective way to encourage initiative, independence, and innovation while providing guidance and maintaining oversight during the initial stages of employee development.<\/p>\n

What can you identify as the greatest opportunities in food right now?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

There are so many! \u00a0I think the most obvious is in food production and farming.\u00a0 Of course care must be taken by those making significant investments, particularly financial.\u00a0 Farming for profit is not for the na\u00efve and\/or faint of heart.\u00a0 Those who get seriously invested in food production should be business savvy, understand the principal of sweat equity and must be willing to survive and thrive at a cost of living that seems antithetical to most. An off-farm job is almost essential for those who are not born in to a farm family or have a wealthy lineage.\u00a0 For me this is ok.\u00a0 The money will help with seed money and continued investment, and an off farm gig keeps you sharp due to the exposure of diverse viewpoints on many subjects.\u00a0 Bring it all home and throw it in the hopper.<\/p>\n

I am very interested in the burgeoning agriculture education sector.\u00a0 High Schools and colleges are looking for well-educated, experienced and talented instructors as the industry realizes an awakening in many regions throughout the country.\u00a0 Teaching is a fantastic way to continue learning and further develop a career in agriculture or procure a farm to run.<\/p>\n

If you could be compensated for your work with something other than money, what would it be?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I am working on a food access and justice project in my home state.\u00a0 I am able to bring my experience to bear on serious issue on the margins of the local food movement.\u00a0 Namely, how will the future of localized food systems development impact those not able to eat healthy today, when fresh foodstuffs are plentiful and relatively cheap?\u00a0 To be helping Vermonters is really payment enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
