MIDWEST MARKET MANAGEMENT

Growing up I worked on a Texas ranch and an Iowa farm. I grew to appreciate the way ranchers and farmers pour their hearts and souls into their work. I learned how being part of a team means working as hard as those around you to ensure success. And while I did not yet understand the financial challenges of agricultural business, I did understand it wasn't easy.

Pursuing the rank of Eagle Scout, I gained an even greater sense of teamwork and leadership. Scouting also reinforced what my parents always taught; always do the right thing. While earning an Agricultural Economics degree at Texas State University, I created a successful novelty longhorn photography business that taught me about organization, goal setting, and independence. I discovered I liked working for myself because it meant I could do things the right way. This discovery led me back to Iowa to share my Dad's vision of working to help farmers with their grain marketing.

Today, I live in Kaukauna with my sons Riley and Westin. When I'm not enjoying time with my family, I'm working with my Dad doing what we love to do. We believe there is no greater service we can provide than to help hard-working American farmers. And we hope you will consider giving us a chance to introduce ourselves, explain our approach, and earn your trust.

The business of Agriculture has a very long history in my family. I was fortunate enough to grow up on my family's farm near Pardeeville, Wisconsin, where we raised registered Ayrshire Dairy Cattle. My siblings and I learned the value of hard work early on. Being involved in 4-H and FFA and having hands-on projects such as Dairy and Sheep taught me many valuable life skills that have become an asset to us as adults.

I attended the University of Wisconsin Platteville where I majored in Agriculture business with an emphasis in Marketing and Communications. Upon graduation, I took a job learning the cash grain marketing aspect of farming, which was a change for me after knowing only about Dairy my whole life. I spent over 10 years working with local farmers and helping them market their grain through that facility. I really enjoyed developing relationships with the farmers and presenting them with opportunities for their marketing needs, so I knew working as a Commodity Broker and Farm Market Consultant with Midwest Market Management would be a perfect fit for me. I enjoy being able to help farmers with their marketing needs and showing them the different tools that are available for them to use.

Outside of work I stay very busy with my family. I have two active boys, David and Nicholas, who are involved in sports 4-H, and FFA. We have a small backyard chicken flock and a few Market Sheep that helps me to be able to teach the boys some of the lessons that I was able to learn as a kid.

I look forward to meeting you and speaking with you about the services we offer and how they can incorporate into your farming operation.
