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.
