Bio

My desire is to advocate about the many Agricultural industries with as many people as I can reach. I would love to be able to teach in high schools in order to help the next generation explore these industries and their passions within agriculture and the FFA. Middle School programs and even starting a new Agricultural curriculum in schools that don't already have one are interests of mine. People need to know where their food comes from and what it takes to get it there!
