I grew up near my current home on a small hobby farm. There I grew to love the soil and everything it provides. My college education started at Hesston College, a small Christian junior college in central Kansas. There I received a great base of knowledge and got connected with a custom harvest crew. I followed the wheat harvest for a whole season and enjoyed the opportunity to see all the beautiful countryside from the seat of a combine. I then attended Purdue University where I completed a bachelor’s of science in agronomy degree in 2016. While at Purdue I worked a summer at the Purdue Diagnostic Training Center, creating and maintaining plots for training ag industry professionals. I went straight from graduation to work on my uncle’s farm, where I specialized in chemical and fertilizer programs and application. I began with the Amplify Network in 2022 under the sponsorship of Steve Kiefer. I have been very impressed with the network’s “Go-Giver” mentality. 

My wife, Julianna, and I have been married 5 years and have 2 young children. I enjoy caring for our small herd of cattle, hiking, camping and bluegrass music.
