Summary
Experienced in all phases of farming and ranching. One of my proudest accomplishments is getting two sons started in farming and watching them operate their own successful operations. I am passionate about making farming sustainable well into the future using regenerative methods that leave our natural resources better than we started with. My family homesteaded in Southwest Nebraska, and I am the 5th generation to stay here and steward the land. I have six grandchildren, and I want the legacy to continue.
