I graduated from the University of Illinois with my degree in crop science. In the last 18 years most of my experience of consulting has been in Central Illinois. I grew up on a turkey farm that also raised corn and soybeans. I am a location manager currently for BCS. I started soil sampling when I was 16, and have been with it ever since.

My wife, Lori, and I have four children together. Ty, Mya, Madilyn, and Lucy. We live on and still help with my family’s truck farm in central Illinois. I enjoy helping my clients with establishing successful plans for each growing season. Each farm has a unique set of circumstances and I like helping carry out plans to utilize the strengths and weakness of each farm to help accomplish a goal. I don’t necessarily like a cookie cutter approach to soil fertility and pest management. Not all farms are created equal.
