I earned a BS degree in Dairy Science. I have worked in the dairy/ag industry for my entire career, for companies such as Bou-Matic & Agromatic before coming to Compeer Financial. I have two sons: Patrick, age 12 & Trevor, age 9. I stay active in the Fond du Lac community as a member and past-president of the Fond du Lac Agri-Business Council. The council has a mission of educating & connecting the community to the impact & importance of agriculture. One of it’s most important initiatives is the Agricultural Ambassador Program which currently has 2 full-time staff who go into local grade schools to present ag programming. I am active member of Hope Lutheran Church, where I also serves on the Board of Trustees. In my spare time, I enjoy doing home improvement and remodeling projects. I also enjoy traveling.
