Dan Patel

Dan Patel grew up in New Jersey, but after spending four years at UCLA earning a Bachelor’s in Environmental Science, he feels there is a lot of California in him, too. This is his first time doing hands-on agricultural work of any kind, but his interest in the field goes back at least a few years. For his senior thesis at UCLA, he was a part of a team that evaluated the suitability of offshore aquaculture for six of the top ten countries with the most significant biological potential in their coastal areas.
