I guess how did you get here into your current roles?

I just grew up in the country.

My mom grew up on a, on a dairy farm, um, during the '80s, and just heard a lot of stories about farm from my, from my grandpa.

Um, when my dad was in high school, he worked on farms too.

So just kind of always had a, an interest or a passion, especially about tractors when I was a little kid, and started taking ag classes in high school, joined FFA, went to tech school for agriculture, also like landscape, uh, horticulture, and then went and got a business degree to tie it all together.

And out of college, ended up working for a co-op.

At the time it was Countryside Co-op sales agronomist, and then I moved into a management role, so managed the agronomy and grain facility.
