After graduation, I taught a few years before beginning a 19 year career with a cattle brokerage operation, while owning and operating McNiel Auction Services. A change in circumstances moved us to start a local commercial trucking company and increase the live auction aspect of McNiel Auction Services. I am a God-fearing and loving family man who has always had a heart for teaching and helping others. I am no stranger to a hard-working lifestyle, as was instilled by my parents at a young age.
