I am deeply committed to my community, dedicating significant time and energy to a wide range of causes. I currently serves as the Executive Chair of the Alumni Board of Directors for the College of Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, where I play a key role in shaping the college's alumni network and supporting future generations of students.

​

In addition, I serve as the Vice President of the Board of Directors for Basics for Local Kids, an organization focused on supporting children in the surrounding community. I also volunteer my time with the organization, directly impacting local youth.

​

My community involvement extends to the National Mastitis Council, where I serve on the Teat Health Committee, contributing to important discussions on dairy health and sustainability.

​

I've also been a collegiate sales coach for the University of Wisconsin-River Falls sales team, mentoring students and accompanying them to the 2023 International Sales Collegiate Competition.

 

Beyond my professional and educational commitments, I am passionate about volunteering for the Wisconsin Special Olympics, where I support the state bowling competition, state winter games, and regional track and field events.

​

Outside of my professional and volunteer work, I'm actively involved in the dairy industry, regularly attending cow shows as a co-owner of select show cows and heifers. I balance my busy schedule with a variety of personal hobbies, including exercising, reading, golfing, motorcycling, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. I enjoy weekend road trips, traveling, and cherishing time with family and friends.
