    I was raised on a farm. When growing up we had cattle and did some grain farming. Twelve years ago, we got rid of the cattle and now do just grain farming. Currently farm with my dad and younger brother. I learned how to run equipment from a young age. This is the job that I learned what hard work and dedication was. You also learn how to be patient, so that you are able to get the job done efficiently and safely.

    I held the position of construction superintendent up until the time they closed the doors. I started out as a Framer and worked my way up to superintendent .
