Upon graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, I moved from my hometown of Rio, WI to Central Kansas where I began my career in Ag Retail Sales. My first sales opportunity was with LDI of Ellinwood, KS where I was responsible for the sale of AGCO farm equipment. Not long after my sales at LDI started to rise, I was approached by a competitive dealership about joining their sales team. At this point I chose to continue my ag sales career with the local John Deere Dealership, BTI. I continued to thrive in the territory and gained several new customers while increasing sales and growing my effective territory. Through my achievements at BTI came new opportunities and as I searched for new ways of personal growth and more responsibilities, I was approached about starting and managing a seed dealership - and that's how Mid America Seed began. Shortly after the start of Mid America Seed, proving to be successful, I started searching for new ways to diversify my business and I went from specializing in just seed and seed treatment to offering ag chemicals, custom seed cleaning and treatment, liquid fertilizer and several other precision ag offerings - at this point I decided to rebrand the business - and that was the start of Mid America Ag Supply, LLC. I have since continued to search out and hire the most professional staff possible to expand and service the territory as well as increase overall sales. Although building a sales territory in a completely foreign area has not been easy over the years - it has been rewarding. In the ag retail industry, now more than ever, we must work to capture as much return on inputs as possible and this has been, and will continue to be, my driving force for success. My number one goal is to ensure the highest profit potential for any and all customers that Mid America Ag Supply may serve while focusing on growth and financial success of the company I am responsible for. I will always continue to put forth the extra effort to achieve not only my personal goals but to continue building the successes of my professional career.
