Dave DeWitt is an Affiliated Faculty member in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Business at NMSU.

Dave DeWitt, aka "The Pope of Peppers," is one of the foremost authorities in the world on chile peppers and spicy foods. Dave researched and wrote numerous magazine and newspaper articles on chile peppers in the late 1970s. In 1984, St. Martin's Press published his first cookbook, The Fiery Cuisines, co-authored with Nancy Gerlach. That book is still in print more than seventeen years later by Ten Speed Press. In 1987, Dave and Nancy approached a local publisher, and the three launched Chile Pepper magazine with a mere 212 subscribers. By 1995, with Dave as the editor-in-chief, the magazine had surpassed 50,000 subscribers with a total circulation exceeding 80,000. The magazine was sold in 1996 and Dave launched Fiery Foods & Barbecue Business Magazine, a trade publication. That magazine was converted to a consumer publication, Fiery Foods & BBQ, in 2002.
