Born and raised in Paulding County, he is the fourth generation on the farm. He is a full-time farmer, raising corn, soybeans and wheat on 2,700 acres.

He and his wife, Diane, are the parents of Jeremy and Chelsie.

"Farm Bureau has a considerable amount of respect in government at the state and national levels," he said. He also appreciates that Farm Bureau listens to farmers.
