I grew up playing and working on my family’s dairy farm in East Troy, WI. In 2007 I graduated from UW-Madison with degrees in agriculture and biology education. Since then I have taught at different high schools and began at Delavan-Darien in 2009. I also work part-time for the National FFA Organization as a conference facilitator and workshop presenter. My latest agricultural endeavor was completing a cheese making apprenticeship as part of the requirements for becoming a WI licensed cheese maker.
