I was born and raised on a dairy farm in Stearns County, Minnesota. My family grew corn, oat, wheat, and alfalfa to support our dairy operation on a 240-acre farm.
I love to garden, especially growing a shade tolerant perennial call ‘hosta’. I also enjoy watching college football and collecting and listening to music on ‘vinyl’.
