My roommates and I have started a small sourdough business (Quarter Slice) and are currently operating out of Logan, Utah, while going to school. My main duties include:

• Experimenting with and developing the proper skills needed to make sourdough bread.
• Doing all the prep work needed to carry out each order.
• Re-stocking inventory
• Delivery

Working as a team, our other members focus on social media, public relations, and manage our order forms.

• Received mowing assignments for the day and properly mowed , trimmed, and edged assigned areas.
• Aid in side projects, including helping put on city events, work with the public, and aid in construction projects.
• Maintained mowers by changing oil, sharpening blades, checking tire pressure, and cleaning air filters.
• Maintained equipment in good working condition, performing regular checks and minor repairs.
• Operate mowers, hand tools, backhoe, mini-ex, and plow in the winter

• Aided in the creation and writing of curriculum for local Ag Tech High School courses, focusing on soil science.

• Helped judge for and put on County Fair
• Aided in 4-H activities and day camps.

• Conducted various soil sample tests

• Fed and watered livestock, ensuring their health and well-being.
• Learned how to hitch up teams of draft horses, drive guests up the canyon via horse-drawn wagons, and be a tour guide of the local area.
• I became a trail lead for Sister Company, Teton Wagon Train, where I lead a group of 12 to 15 guests through the Idaho and Wyoming terrain to end up at our next camp.
• As a part of the 'Wrangler' crew, we were in charge of feeding and watering horses every day, sleeping near them (without tents so we were fully prepared if there was a predator nearby), packing up guests' belongings into wagons, packing up camp to move to the next location, and setting up the next camp, entertaining guests the entire time, and having the opportunity to fall in love the the wilderness around you.
• Aid in stacking/hauling alfalfa for horses that stay at the camps
• Food prep - we learned how to prep for 40+ guests: (shop for, cook, provide shelter, and aid if an emergency arose)

My older brother and I started a Lawn Care business (Rankin Yard Care) when we were younger as a summer gig. With every year it developed, we gained more and more clientele. It was instrumental in helping us learn importance of communication skills, money management, public relations, and being self motivated to go out and do our best at every job-site. While doing this I was able to gain a lot of skills, some including:

• Established long-term relationships with customers by promoting great service and engagement skills and quickly resolving issues.
• Proper use and maintenance of equipment.
• Time management and readiness for each day.
• I learned how to shift from being a co-owner with my brother to an employer for my hired help when Ben left on a church mission.
• I developed a sincere love for the clients we had and stay in contact with a lot of my little old ladies that we'd mow for
