About

I was born and raised on a row crop and livestock farm, which has developed me into the person that I am today and has pushed me to advocate for agriculture. I grew up showing livestock (cattle and pigs) that lead me to many great connections and friendships across the state of Iowa. I am blessed to be able to work everyday in an industry that I feel so strongly about while also caring for livestock.
