With over 20 years of experience in the agricultural industry, I have had the privilege to be founder and co-founder of multiple ventures that aim to provide wholesome, fresh, and sustainable products and services to our community, whether that be the equipment to feed and care for animals and growing crops, to the custom formulation and blending of the highest quality ingredients and feedstuffs for those animals, as well as farm to table meats grown locally right here on our farm. I have a passion for serving agricultural industry and finding ways to improve efficiency, performance, and productivity to help preserve the agricultural heritage this community has. I have a passion for the equipment that drives agriculture. I enjoy testing new ideas and theories related to ag and equipment. I have had the privilege to help bring the first fully electric skidloader to the North American market, as well as other ventures. I manage the farming operations of my family's 1,000 acres and the dairy farm I grew up on, as well as the Wakarusa Ag LLC and Wakarusa Rental LLC zero emissions equipment departments. I founded The Farmstead at Union Center to offer farm-to-table beef, pork, chicken, and eggs, as well as other farm products. I like to collaborate with other individuals and organizations to advance my knowledge of the industry and to explore new systems and processes to help sustain the family farm in rural America. I have been abundantly blessed by God to be a part of this community and to have a loving family who supports me.
