Summary

Driven and innovative, I have been involved in the livestock industry my whole life and have such a big passion for this industry. I have gained lots of knowledge with being very active in my family's business Berg Shorthorns, enhancing herd health and efficiency. I have made so many friends through this industry and so many great people to look up to. As President of the Iowa Junior Shorthorn Association, I honed leadership and organizational skills, contributing significantly to the agriculture community.
