Why did you join FFA?

FFA sounded exciting to me when I was an 8th grader.  The recruitment team visited my middle school and from there I was hooked!  I am so thankful every day that they did this.  I grew up in town and had no agricultural background.  I would not be where I am today without FFA.

What has been your most challenging FFA experience?

While in school, overcoming popularity obstacles was difficult.  I knew I would be good as an officer, although I was not elected because I was not the most popular kid in school.  This is something students face all the time and I just tell them that they can still be successful and to keep trying and keep their heads up.

Who has had the greatest impact on your life?

I am not sure who had the greatest impact in general, but I had some amazing agriculture teachers along the way, both in college and high school... 

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?

I would pay off all those dang student loans that got me where I am today!  Then put some in to scholarship funds for FFA members so they do not have to get so many student loans :)
I would then invest the rest in some property and a retirement fund.  I love what I do, so I would not quit working.

Final thought

I love to encourage every student to join FFA because it is NOT just a "farm" club.  I try to find a SAE for every student in something that interests them.

Oh, and I LOVE Bainville, Montana!
