I’m a husband and father of two daughters, a Christian, former Army officer, and business professional looking to build a future rooted in farming. My family and I are drawn to a more purposeful country lifestyle centered on working the land, caring for animals, and building something meaningful together. I’m hardworking, dependable, and eager to learn. We’d love to connect with farmers open to helping the next generation carry on their land and legacy.

Goals, Values, Vision
My long-term goal is to build a sustainable farming operation that can remain productive and viable for generations. I am drawn to farming not only as a career, but as a way of life centered on faith, family, hard work, stewardship, and a closer connection to the land and animals.
I bring experience in business, leadership, sales, and marketing that I believe could help strengthen and grow an existing farm operation. As a former Army officer, I also bring discipline, adaptability, a strong work ethic, and the ability to lead and solve problems.
At the same time, I want to be transparent that I have much to learn about the day-to-day realities of farming. I am looking for more than just land or an operation. Ideally, I would like to build a relationship with an experienced farmer who is willing to mentor me and pass along the knowledge that comes from years of working the land.
Ultimately, my vision is to preserve what has already been built, learn how to care for it well, and find ways to keep the farm economically sustainable so it can continue to be a farm for generations to come.
