Cody Harrison
Operations Director
Cody grew up in the NW corner of Montana with Glacier National Park in his backyard and at 18 moved to North Carolina where he received a BA in Environmental Science and Policy from Duke University. For the past ~12 years Cody has been working any way he could to help end poverty and regenerate our ecosystems. Given the large tracts of land under their care ranchers are in a unique position to help contribute to those goals, especially the latter.

Enrique Guerrero
Enrique is a native of eastern Chihuahua, Mexico and has been a pioneer in the field of Holistic Management for over a decade. Raised on a 50,000-acre family ranch, Guerrero later purchased his own 5,000-acre ranch, which, despite receiving up to 32 inches of rain annually, could only support 140 cows due to land degradation. After learning about Holistic Management, Guerrero implemented these practices on his family ranch, significantly increasing its carrying capacity. His success led to the formation of a grazing association with 500 other ranchers from Chihuahua, further promoting regenerative grazing practices. Guerrero has since been hired to regenerate the 350,000-acre Longfellow Ranch in Texas and works with Boomitra, a carbon credit company, to identify regenerative ranches in Chihuahua that are sequestering carbon in their grasslands. His work has not only improved the health of the land but also increased the profitability and sustainability of ranching operations.
John Haskell
Twenty years ago John went to work for a profitable ranch. At the time, he had never seen such a thing. That experience changed his life.
Since then, he has worked for other profitable ranches, started profitable ranch businesses from scratch, turned around failing ones, and shared the recipe with others through consulting services.
Ranching is hard work, but it's a lot more rewarding when you are winning. While many ranches struggle, the great ranches build wealth, improve the land, raise self-reliant children, empower employees, and strengthen communities. The difference is that great ranches focus on the business and leverage its power to produce desired outcomes.
