My U. of A. Asian Studies major paved the way for my Masters in International Management degree from the American Graduate School of International Management/Thunderbird, and my career in global agribusiness with Continental Grain, Koch Industries, BASF Plant Science, and the Seaboard Corporation. This experience and these opportunities allowed me to live in work in Sydney, Bangkok, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Bermuda, and development businesses in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
