Alongside managing a thriving cattle ranch, he also assumes the roles of a teacher, skilled diesel mechanic, and the President of Wyoming's sole accredited private university, WyoTech. The university prioritizes a hands-on, practical approach to education. It welcomes students nationwide, imparting values, tools, and the necessary discipline for establishing substantial trade careers.
