As a partner in a large, family farming business I have had the opportunity to serve on several boards and committees that have given me experiences to help me to serve on the Benton REA Board of Trustees. These include serving as a board of director at Amalgamated Sugar in Boise Idaho (2011-present), a director with the Washington Turfgrass Seed Commission (approx 1998-2000), and as a member of the Paterson school board (approx 2014-2024).
I am a partner/manager at R. Munn Farms, LLC along with two of my brothers and three nephews. This is a row crop farm that produces onions, grass seed, sugar beets, potatoes, carrots, seed peas, wheat and other crops. R. Munn Farms, LLC also is a partner in Sunset Produce, which is an onion packing shed, and in Columbia River Seed, which is a grass seed facility.
I worked as a staff accountant at Niemi, Holland & Scott, which was a CPA firm. I prepared a variety of tax returns for individuals and businesses, prepared various accounting reports and schedules, and managed the bookkeeping for clients. I also worked in the audit department where I was part of a team that audited financial statements for clients.
