Years of Experience: 16 agency; lived on a farm all my life
Board Experience:
It’s time to get back in the game. After serving on every board imaginable in my younger days, I’ve spent some time away focusing on family, school activities, and career. Most recently, I served three years on the Kansas Foundation for Ag in the Classroom (KFAC) board. Additionally, I led the KFAC marketing committee, sharing my agency experience along with my farming background to move the organization and their communication efforts forward. I’ve been an active participant in National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) and as an awards judge volunteer. Aside from board leadership, I’ve led a number of teams, including the ag and environmental sciences team at Padilla. I’m eager to jump back in and become more active in agricultural organizations, like NAFB.
