Thankful resign my leadership role on the board a few months early. Without the support of my parents none of this would have been possible. To my mom especially, THANK YOU. You have been my biggest supporter in following my dreams and fueling my passion for the Shorthorn breed and for that I am forever grateful. To my team, thank you for all the continued support through this transition. You are all going to do great things for yourselves and this breed. I can’t wait to cheer you on from the sidelines. To Shelby, thank you for letting me bounce around my crazy ideas with you and always being there with great advice for any circumstance. I am thankful for everyone that I have gotten to meet along the way. My passion that I have for this breed and the people isn’t going anywhere. I will still continue to support the breed that has given me so much. I look forward to being engaged in the American Shorthorn Association in many other ways in the future. Thank you for this opportunity and I will see you down the road. =

From the people you meet, to the places you’ll go it’s just the beginning. We as a Shorthorn breed have so much to be thankful for; our parents, our sponsors, and the great people who share our love of the breed. Over the last two years, it has been an honor serving on the AJSA Board of Directors. It has been the most influential group of people that I have ever had the privilege to be involved with. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on this board and the wonderful people that come with it. The AJSA board has prepared me for my professional life and given me many opportunities.
