A neuropsychologist with a farm. Or a farmer who studies decisions.

I'm Chris. My day job is clinical neuropsychology. I'm a professor, and my research focuses on concussion and traumatic brain injury: how we assess it, why some people recover slowly, and how factors outside the injury itself shape outcomes. I have a special interest in decision science, and a large part of my career has been about weighing messy evidence and drawing defensible conclusions under uncertainty.

I also run a restoration agriculture farm in Goodrich, Michigan. We grow elderberries, chestnuts, pawpaws, persimmons, plums, honeyberries, and kiwi berries, with Mangalitsa pigs, honey bees, and laying hens rotating through the system. It was designed as a perennial system from the start, not retrofitted onto a conventional operation.

The Intelligent Farm is where those two things meet. Farming has historically resisted the kind of disciplined, evidence-based thinking that medicine and aviation have spent decades building. I don't think it has to.

This farm is not finished. Some systems work well and some are still being figured out. I'll show you both.
