I have good people skills and get along with most everyone just fine. I enjoy being challenged and learning new things. I love agriculture and especially working with young animals, calves, pigs, kids.
I am skilled at working with different breeds of animals, understanding their behavior and how to safely work with them.
I have experience with farming, tractors and general farm work starting at age 12 while working on my grandfathers beef cattle farm. From that experience I fell in love with agriculture and farming and pursed it further. I went to college for animal science and then worked at a few jobs in agriculture after school.
My goal is to get back into farming full time as a career. I know it's what makes me happy and what I'm here for. I have been out of agriculture a number of years due to job availability, but I want to return to what I'm passionate about.
