Summary
Driven and innovative, I have been involved in the livestock industry my whole life and have a huge passion for this industry. I have gained lots of knowledge being very active in my family's Shorthorn seed stock production, 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 livestock community.
