He also retired from the military and is proud to be a veteran.

In 2018, James joined Hybrid Turkeys as Technical Service Specialist, although he sees his role as slightly different than traditional technical service. When working with our customers, James likes to get his hands dirty and work side by side with the people running the operations.

He says this is the best way he can help our customers is to get in the action and see firsthand how they run their farms. "I go in trying to figure out how our bird will work best in their system," he says, "I look at what can we do to achieve the best performance with what's there." With this pragmatic approach, along with a respectful, hardworking attitude, James is able to help our customers achieve impressive results and get the best value possible.
