Summary

I'm a passionate individual and always take pride in working hard, trying to learn as much as I can, and doing my best. I love to try new things and I'm very willing to learn. I'm fairlyDriven and versatile, I excel in roles requiring resilience and innovation. At Glenn Elzinga's ranch, I led a team to enhance rangeland through regenerative practices, showcasing my leadership and problem-solving skills. I've spent a lot of time with animals. Horses, cattle, dogs, etc, and I think that they have taught me more patience then any person could. Another thing that weighs deeply into my work ethic and the way I try to live is my faith. I do my best (but often fail miserably) to try and live as Jesus did. Loving and caring for others, sharing whenever I can, never losing my temper, and being honest.
