Briefly describe your involvement in FFA. I was an active member of the Lee-Davis FFA Chapter in Mechanicsville, VA for eight years. I had the privilege of serving as State FFA President, being a delegate to National Convention twice and running for National Office. I later served as President of the 年轻的 Farmers of VA - the adult extension of agriculture education. The VA FFA Foundation is a charity I'm passionate about and I have served on the 董事会 for two terms.
Briefly describe your involvement in agriculture. Well, it would be more accurate to say I ‘play’ farm rather than actually farm. I own land but mainly help friends and family members with their farming operations.
List and describe any other clubs or organizations that you are actively involved in. I'm a member of the Spotswood 年轻的 Farmer Association and VA Farm Bureau. I have been active in the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce including two terms on the 董事会 and leading the Farm Family Stewardship Award Committee for 20 years. I've represented FCV on the Shenandoah Valley Partnership 董事会 the past eight years.

你在哪里长大的? 我出生在弗吉尼亚州的哈里森堡. My dad got transferred to Richmond just after I was born, so I grew up in Mechanicsville. Most of my extended family lived around Harrisonburg so, in some ways, I felt like I had two homes.
Has anyone in particular in your family had a significant impact on you? I've been blessed with a wonderful extended family. My grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins have collectively been a huge influence. I can't narrow it down to just one person - I wouldn't be who I am today without the love, dedication and energy of my entire family.
