Short Biography:
Problems connected with Agriculture and Farming Require an Expert with Experience There is no substitute for experience Qualifications
He was raised on a farm. He had his first farm jobs working with animals. He has worked with horse teams and understands teamwork.
Probably the most significant lesson in working with horse teams is the concept of a harness. A harness enables the transfer of power to accomplish great tasks using the skill of human brains. In modern business the contract is the harness that enables entrepreneurs to accomplish great tasks.
He has the practical experience as a farmer, veterinarian, diagnostician, clinician, businessman, teacher, salesman, expert witness, negotiator, consultant and counselor. I have also been a a vet for the USDA in meat inpsection.
To be able to convince a jury he must have teaching skills.
Teacher:

Owned and managed a dairy farm from 1960 until 1970. When I had practiced about ten years the farm next door to dad’s farm came up for sale. I purchased that farm and established a dairy, which then became the greatest learning experience of my career.
When God wants to give you a blessing, He often wraps it up in a problem. My problem on that dairy farm was a well that polluted with nitrates. I became a Brookside Farms Consultant and studied with Dr. William Albrecht and became a nationally recognized authority.
Taught Clients My practice evolved during the 30 years of practice in Brighton, Colorado. It changed from a fire engine emergency type of business into a programmed heard health preventative type of practice. I had to teach my clients the benefits of prevention and coach them on good management.
Taught Salesmen When I sold my practice in 1980 and bought enough shares to become Vice President of a farm animal feed company my income depended on my ability to recruit and teach salesmen. I discovered I was a good motivator and teacher and loved that sort of work.
Taught Veterinarians Because Hills Pet Products offered me a better job in 1982 I began to sell Prescription Diets to Veterinarians. My assignment was to teach them how using our diets would improve their practice. I have had the very great privilege of visiting over 1000 vets all over the United States. I also became a good student of nutrition. I understand how nutrition ensures good health. This skill aids in diagnostic work as well and makes me a convincing authority.
Taught Salesmen and Farm Managers I had an opportunity to go to New Zealand to help a friend sell his consulting services. Because I was eager to be involved as an entrepreneur. I went there with the goal of taking a product called Impro to Australia and New Zealand.
Taught Salesmen and Farm Managers about good management practices. I was offered a Job at a farm supply company and became the person in charge of teaching our salesmen. Because we had a huge host of customers we had a lot of farmers with severe problems so I became the troubleshooter and diagnostician. And I learned to sell Impro My main job was to prevent our company from being sued because of poor performance of our products. This job was the greatest learning experience a vet could ever have because my job was continually on the line. If I did not find and correct the answer the farm might face disaster and we could be vulnerable so it was the most exciting and demanding job a vet could ever have. I had to produce or else. I had the very great privilege of visiting farms all over the United States. I had to learn the art of negotiating and compromise. I knew how to influence opinions and change attitudes. This is where I really began to be involved as an expert witness.
My best Qualification You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink. You can also recite facts to students all day long and it will go in one ear and out the other unless the subject is interesting, practical and yes, exciting. .
I know I have the ability to investigate farm problems, arrive at a logical and workable solution and convince the people involved to correct the way the work is done. This same skill is exactly what it takes to convince a jury to come back with a favorable verdict..
Let me see if I think I can help you with a legal expert witness consultation.
