I was raised on a farm near Payette, Idaho where I raised Angus cattle in 4-H and FFA, then graduated from the University of Idaho in 1971 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science with a business minor. I have been in Agricultural sales and management for the past 33 years. My work experience includes the beef packing industry, the liquid and dry feed and nutrition industry, seed and animal health retail sales, cattle association executive officer and lobbyist, and the past 20 ½ years as a pharmaceutical manufacturer sales representative for large animal products. During my career, I have worked directly with ranchers, feedlot owners and managers, dairymen, farmers, veterinary clinics, dealers and distributors throughout eight western states.
My experience in selling agricultural products and programs in highly competitive markets, coupled with my strong industry knowledge, have helped prepare me for my career as a Farm and Ranch Real Estate Specialist.
I would appreciate the opportunity to assist you, or anyone you know, with any real estate related business.
