I am a fourth-generation agriculturist who has spent the last 17 years on my family's farm and ranch in both Texas and New Mexico. I possess a strong sense of leadership, but I am also an effective teammate. Years of maintaining a high academic standard have also allowed me to become self-disciplined and a hard worker. Among other things, serving my rural community is the greatest duty I can fulfill.

I am a fifth-generation farmer and rancher from the rural Texas Panhandle. Since I was little, I can remember feeding cattle with my granddad and cutting hay with my dad on our operation. I am active in UIL debate, FFA, 4-H, student council and athletics. After graduating, I plan on attending Texas Tech and obtaining a degree in agricultural communications.

I have shown pigs since I was in third-grade. Throughout my life I have experienced challenges, adversities, and blessings. My major goal in life is to be an advocate for agriculture, teaching young children the impact it has on our lives.

Through 4-H, I have developed professional and speaking skills. I have had opportunities to lead at all levels of 4-H, from my local club to planning and running a national conference. The Texas 4-H Water Ambassador Program has helped me to refine my major and career choice, so I plan to study agricultural systems management at Texas A&M this fall.

I am from a farming community in West Texas. My family grows cotton and corn silage. I've developed a taste for business through owning a firework stand and a growth mindset through the 4-H projects. I am heavily active in my church, community, and 4-H. I have been equipped to be an advocate in all areas of my life, and I am grateful for the privilege to have grown up in a thriving environment.

I have worked for my family’s farm and small business every day for the last eight years. I live and breathe farming and agriculture. It is my passion. I am a self-described "greasy knuckled" guy. I love tackling hands-on challenges from engines, pivots, planters, and tractors every day.

I am a fifth-generation agriculturist and have been involved in FFA and 4-H, qualifying for state in multiple Career and Leadership Development Events.

I have been involved in 4-H and FFA since I was eight years old, participating in LDE, CDE, proficiencies, and livestock exhibitions and developing a love for agriculture. My personal goal is to become an agricultural lobbyist, applying knowledge learned at OSU and real-life experiences to continue being a spokeswoman.

As the youngest of five, I have had the benefit of learning from the example of my siblings. My interest in science and discovering answers to my questions comes from my eldest sister, who earned her PhD. My brother's sense of humor helped me develop a quick wit and practical outlook. My knack for organizational leadership rubbed off from my second sister, and my third sister showed me that a strong work ethic will open many doors.

Growing up, I never really had the opportunity to experience the agriculture industry hands on until my freshman year of high school. After joining FFA, I immediately became hooked, raising my own livestock, competing in multiple career and speaking contests, holding numerous leadership roles, and advocating for the industry in any way I could. Although I've spent time involved in other organizations, agriculture has truly shaped who I am today.

I was raised on a diverse agricultural operation in Central Texas. I have been helping on my family’s farm, ranch, and custom harvesting operation.

I grew up in rural central Texas, where my family farms and ranches. I have been a part of agriculture since I was a child and spent most of my hours riding in the tractor or working cattle with my dad. I was homeschooled and eventually started public school and became active in sports and the FFA. When I was nine, I started driving one of our square balers in the summer, and this opened the doors for the rest of my life.

I have been involved in the agriculture industry for as long as I can remember. I show steers and heifers locally, state, and nationally.

This ongoing passion has driven me to attend Texas Tech University this fall and major in animal science. I strive to make a positive impact on the livestock industry.

I am the youngest in my family with three older siblings. Watching them grow up and be involved in different organizations inspired me to get involved in everything I could. I have become the president of FFA, 4-H, FCCLA, class council, and our student government, and I have become an NHS officer. With all of these organizations, I have developed leadership and time management skills.

My family and I raise Brangus cattle, quarter horses, and Basset hounds. I joined 4-H at seven and have participated in a wide range of projects from quilting and baking to showing heifers and public speaking. When I am not serving or competing through 4-H, you can find me cheering for my football team on the track, promoting agriculture, working in my church, or designing landscapes for clients. I am excited to be a Fightin’ Texas Aggie.
