Aaron Sumrall PhD

Director, Outreach, Education & Research

 

Aaron joined the Pig Brig team in the fall of 2021. Before coming on board with Pig Brig, Aaron worked for Texas A&M AgriLife Extension for 20+ years, assisting farmers, ranchers, wildlife, and land managers on a myriad of topics, including wildlife pest management and mitigation, work on applied research projects, management publications, and outreach education across Texas. Aaron holds BS and MS degrees in Animal Science and a PhD in Wildlife Ecology from Sam Houston State and Texas A&M, respectively. The lion’s share of his research and management has focused on feral pig management/mitigation, diseases, biology and behavior, economics, damage, and human/feral pig dynamics. Aaron enjoys working with landowners and managers in individual settings, speaking at conferences to inform them about new research, and helping determine how to remove feral pigs from their areas of interest.
