Iamexcited to be joining an organization whose existence is not to send profits to overseas shareholders, but rather to serve its members. With a goal of providing the best service, producers will be able to get the best yield from crops, maximizing return on their

After graduating High school in Cold Lake, I went on to attend the Adventure Guide Diploma, at Thompson Rivers University. From there I spent a few years Skiing and Guiding Throughout BC. Eventually I met a girl, and we settled north of St. Michael. Here we started raising Lamb before transitioning to a Cow Calf Operation. As a first-generation producer I have both the passion for farming and well as an understanding for the unique challenges and requirements that this industry brings. We raise an Angus Simmental cross and have a focus of quality over quantity. We retain stock based on ease of calving, growth, and feed efficacy. This approach enables us to get the best return while controlling overhead. I strive to do things once and do them right, while laying the framework for future growth and diversification. This is the methodology I hope to bring to the CoOperative.

I come to the seed plant with experience from my time in energy, fertilizer, and grain exports. Having held leadership roles in maintenance, and operations, I plan on utilizing this experience to better integrate modern technologies and time saving processes. By creating streamlined programs that meet operational and regulatory requirements. This will allow staff to spend more time and focus on preparing seed for our customers.

I look forward to meeting with local producers, and encourage members and nonmembers alike to reach out or swing by the facility to see how we can help.

Thank You
