Farrell Davis graduated from the University of Rhode Island, College of Environmental and Life Sciences in May 2011 with a B.S. in Aquaculture and Fisheries Science.

His past experience includes working at the NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole conducting shellfish surveys. Previous experience includes maintaining pumps and filtration systems for aquaculture facilities. Commercial fishing experience includes scalloping and gill netting out of Chatham, MA.
