About Me

I grew up on diversified farm South of Nebraska City, NE.  I currently live in Syracuse.  My wife Lacy and daughters Brandy, Jenna, and Danica keep me busy outside of work along with the family farm.   I have an Associate degree from Southeast Community College in Livestock Production, and a Bachelors degree from the University of Nebraska in Diversified Agriculture.  In 2002 I was a student worker for Clyde Naber and then after graduation I became his assistant.  After Clyde retired a few years back I became the building/livestock manager.  Working with students, staff, and faculty keep my days interesting and enjoyable.
