Summary

I have grown up in Agriculture my entire life. I can honestly say that Agriculture is my passion. My family date back to a long list of farmers and some are still currently farming. When I am not working, I find myself on a tractor mowing or planting for wildlife for upcoming hunting seasons.

I have a passion to serve and please. I would rather someone be super happy before myself. I am married and have my first born on the way.
