Matt
is a graduate of Iowa State University where he received a degree in
Animal Science with a special focus and advanced study in ruminant
nutrition. While at Iowa
State, he also conducted research on forage utilization by ruminants and
even had specific studies in whitetail deer genetics.
Before
coming to the Institute, Matt worked for one of the world’s largest feed
companies on their technical staff where he was primarily involved in
developing mineral, vitamin and nutritional supplement products for exotic
animals, especially whitetail deer.
When
the Institute decided to further develop its interest in nutritional
supplements for management practices, Matt was the man for the job.
Overseeing the highly specific nutrients, the material sources and
the precise amounts and ratios is left to Matt.
Matt
loves his work with the Institute. “To
be able to work in a field that is one of my favorite hobbies is truly a
blessing.” |
