John’s deep family connections to agriculture in Yolo and Solano Counties have fostered a passion for agriculture. This passion led him to serve on the Solano Land Trust’s Agricultural Conservation Easement Committee and the Board of Directors. Prior to joining the Yolo Land Trust, John spent over 20 years managing special districts providing irrigation, drainage and resource conservation services to constituents in Solano, Yolo, Shasta, and Tehama Counties. Prior to public service, John has amassed extensive work experience with crop and livestock production, managed agricultural operations, and worked as an organic farm inspector. John is a UC Davis Graduate with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Agricultural and Managerial Economics. He has also earned the Accredited Farm Manager designation from the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers. John and his family live on the family farm in Solano County, where they are restoring their 1875 Victorian home.
