Why did I want to serve as a Missouri FFA State Officer?
I wanted to serve as a Missouri FFA State Officer because I wanted to help members find their passion. A couple years ago, someone did this for me and since then, I have made it my goal to help members find their voice and their passion.
What legacy do you most want to leave during your year of service?
This year I hope to help each member that I can realize they have a place in FFA, no matter what. I remember as a younger member always being more on the quiet side before someone helped me to come out of my shell. I now hope to do the same for members across the state.
What are your plans for the future?
I plan to graduate college with a degree in agriculture business management and get a job within the agricultural industry with some kind of ag corporation. I also plan to continue raising show pigs and beef cattle throughout and after college.
What is something unique or interesting that few people know about you?
I can play multiple instruments, including the piano.
