What made you want to be an FFA advisor? And why at Chowchilla?

I enjoy agriculture and the way of life associated with it.  I enjoy being able to teach students about the FFA and the Ag industry and all of the good things it has to offer, the FFA has so much to offer students.  When I first started my teaching I was looking for a strong ag program that had a lot to offer students, Chowchilla fit that bill and there was an opening and the rest is history.
