He obtained a B.S. degree in Range Science from Utah State University and a Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Georgia and was previously a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior at the University of Minnesota. He served as research faculty at the University of Utah in the Department of Biology, before coming to Texas A&M University.
