Goals, Values, Vision

I am an experienced livestock professional and large animal veterinarian seeking farmland in Southwest Michigan, targeting Kalamazoo, Portage, and surrounding counties, to establish a family-rooted, socially conscious Angus operation. My vision is to produce premium, traceable Angus beef through elite genetics, sustainable practices, and community values.
My mission is to raise Angus cattle with precision and care, producing exceptional beef while honoring the land and community. I bring deep expertise in livestock health, genetics, and data-driven management, and I’m committed to long-term partnerships with landowners who value sustainability, transparency, and family-oriented agriculture.
Core values guiding this journey include:

Genetics excellence
Data-driven integrity and traceability
Sustainability and stewardship
Family and community

I’m excited to connect with landowners who share a passion for responsible farming and building something meaningful together.
