Jeff Rucci, CMA

I have had the pleasure of working with Jeff for over a year. Jeff taught me many things about the livestock industry, leadership and strategy development. Jeff's positive attitude, open minded approach to all situations and passion for developing his employees, colleagues and friends, makes him an exceptional leader. Jeff always has the utmost respect for all individuals he is in contact with and operates with the highest level of ethics possible. Without reservation, I recommend taking advantage of an opportunity to work with Jeff.
