I’ve always loved being around agriculture. My grandparents farmed and ranched in northeast Montana, which fueled that fire. I spent a few years during and after college custom harvesting across the United States but was always pulled back to southeastern Idaho where I was born, raised and love. When not out in the fields or in the lab, I love skiing, golfing and a lot of other outdoor recreational activities.
