Accomplishments

Over the years as a child to a young adult, Working on the family farm became a part of my life that I cherished. It was just natural for me to be apart of 4-H, FFA and JR Holstein association. Remembering the holstein spring calf my grandpa bought me when I was 8. That started a whole new love. I showed 4-8 dairy shows a year for 10 years learning what hard work and determination will teach a person. It was hard work dedication all mixed in for love of the my Holstieins. I won,I lost but most of all it taught me to never give up and always give 110%. With the love for farming I then entered the UW Madison Short Course where I completed my dairy Management Certification
