About ME

---

I am André Luiz Barreto Crespo, a Brazilian-born entomologist, researcher, and innovator specialized in agricultural pest management and insect resistance. With a PhD from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and over 25 publications (1,720+ citations), I have advanced sustainable farming at Syngenta and Corteva Agriscience. Beyond science, I am a musician and songwriter under The Good Lambs, with folk releases like “What Kills the Men” and “Crazy Love For You.” I was also an entrepreneur involved in horse breeding  with a former business, and currently pursuing an MBA. As a part-time Uber driver with high ratings in Des Moines, I have created 7daydrive.com to share local tips and itineraries, blending my passions for community, creativity, and exploration.
