About

I have been involved in agriculture most of my life and am passionate about stewarding our cropland and grazing lands to the best of our knowledge and ability. I am currently pursuing a degree in Agricultural Studies with a Ranch Management focus, and upon graduation hope to be involved in research and education on regenerative and sustainable approaches to land stewardship and management. I also hope to own and operate my own ranch, implementing intensive rotational grazing strategies and building a herd on quality genetics.
