With 29 years of experience managing and selling farms around the Omaha area, I transitioned to the FNC corporate office as a Farm Client Relations Manager. Later, I became a Farm Operations Specialist, assisting with daily operations within the Farm Management Department and supporting the training of Farm Management Staff. Additionally, I am a Licensed Real Estate Broker Associate in Nebraska and Iowa, working with buyers and sellers in real estate transactions in both states.
