My wife and I were both raised in suburban America with no agriculture backgrounds whatsoever. In 2014, we decided to become first generation farmers, and we bought a farm in Southern Middle Tennessee where we now raise Black Angus cattle. I was the 2017 American Farm Bureau Discussion Meet National Winner, and continue to be involved with Tennessee Young Farmers and Ranchers State Committee. I am also a member of Partners in Advocacy Leadership Class 9 where I go around the world with nine other individuals advocating agriculture.
