What’s your involvement in agriculture?

“I’ve been involved in agriculture ever since I could remember. My family and I live on a cow/calf operation. Along with that, I show cattle. I’ve been showing cattle since I was 4 years old and loved it ever since. One of my biggest accomplishments is winning the 2017 National Limousin Show & Congress Junior Showmanship competition.”

What’s your involvement in FFA?

“I’m a first-year FFA member this year. Next year I will be the secretary for my FFA chapter. I also competed in many livestock judging contests this year as well.”

What’s the best part about living on a farm?

“I think the best part of living on a farm is learning very many important life skills. Not only this industry but my parents and grandparents have taught me so much and they have made me the person I am today. My favorite thing about living on a farm is waking up every day knowing I can always accomplish something and that hard work pays off.”

What other activities are you involved with or enjoy?

“I enjoy playing club volleyball during the winter.”
