What influenced you to join FFA?
I joined FFA in 7th grade due to my agricultural background and my older relatives. As I grew older, I started competing in CDEs and LDEs, which helped shape me into the person I am today. I enjoy working on my family's dairy farm, where I participate in activities such as milking cows and assisting with field work.
What inspired you to serve as a State Officer?
The Loyal FFA recently had a State Officer in 2022. With that being said, I had the opportunity to grow close with that team. I learned a ton about what it takes to become a State FFA Officer and how much of an impact they make on the members. It is my goal to connect and inspire members all across the state to be the best leaders they can be.
What are your favorite FFA experiences?
My favorite FFA experiences include attending leadership conferences, where I have learned to strengthen my communication and leadership skills. I also enjoy competing in Ag Business CDEs and learning more about agriculture, as well as setting personal goals to help me grow along the way.
What are your future plans?
I plan to continue working at Vita Plus feed mill in Loyal, WI, and work my way to owning my own trucking company.
What is something members should know about you?
I am a hard-working and passionate person. I enjoy talking and connecting with others. I grew up on my parents' family farm, where I developed many of my core values through the work I experienced and gained during my time working on the farm. I love to talk, so don’t be shy about coming up and talking to me about anything.
