Education
I studied Dairy Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and was a member of the dairy cattle judging team there.
Background/Experience
I was raised on a dairy and hog farm near Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and spent 10 years in 4-H, during which, I enjoyed dairy cattle judging and showing, as well as exhibiting hogs. My family is still actively involved in the dairy industry with the farm I grew up on.
