Background
Born and raised into a 1,000 acre, multi-generation farm in Southern Indiana I learned at an early age the value of being a self-reliant, self-starter. Over the years in the professional working environment and especially while serving in the U.S. Army I gained an appreciation of being part of a team and how working as a whole to achieve a goal is every bit as important as being reliable as an individual.
