​

Why did you join FFA? I joined FFA when I was in high school because

I knew that I was interested in a career in agriculture and felt it was an opportunity

for me to sharpen my leadership skills. 

​

Why did you become an Ag Teacher? I initially graduated from college

and worked in industry for a few years before deciding to go back to ISU to get

my teaching license.  I discovered when working with youth at my job that I really

enjoyed teaching students within the context of agriculture.  I also love all things FFA!
