I was raised in Texas with an Agricultural background and attended Texas A&M University. At Texas A&M I pursued a degree in Animal Science and embraced every opportunity to learn more about the industry. This education led to an 18 year career in farm credit where I served as a Regional Vice President for one of the farm credit banks in our region. I continued my education by going through the Texas Agricultural Lifetime Leadership Program and have continued to be active with TALL by serving on the board of the TALL Alumni association.
