Michael P. Landers, Central Director

I first started raising rabbits with my father in 1956, and I've always had a few rabbits thoughout my various careers, but only begin showing in earnset three years ago. I raise Americans, both Blue and Whites, Silver Fox and Blanc de Hotot.

I am retired from the U.S. Army, 21 years and three combat tours in VietNam. I retired in 1987 and went to work for the State of Missouri, then took early retirement in 2000 and went to work for the U.S. Army as a civilian and retired from that in January of this year. I have a B.A in Business and an M.A. in Human Resource Development. I have been married for 36 years, have three grown sons. My wife raises and shows dwarf breeds.

My leadership style is participating, seek advice, get consenses, make the decision.
