My PhD is in agronomy. I worked as an international maize breeder between 1981 and 1988 with CIMMYT and Pioneer Overseas Corporation. I was a post-doc with the CIMMYT maize program in 1981-2, and I started a breeding program targeting mexico and central america for Pioneer in 1983-4. I returned to CIMMYT in 1985 to be posted to Zimbabwe where I built the Mid-Altitude Maize Research Station and started our maize breeding efforts for Southern Africa. During that time I helped Malawi's NARS transition to semi-dent maize hybrids.
