Where did you grow up, and what brought you to Harrisonburg?

I grew up in Holliston Massachusetts and at the ripe old age of 13 I started working on a local Turkey / produce farm. After I graduated from college, I was told that if I wanted to make it big in poultry I needed to move south.

How does your faith happen in your daily life?

During my day job with Pilgrims, I have a lot of windshield time driving from farm to farm. I often use this time to pray and thank God for all the things he has provided me in life. And if I am having a ‘Bad day” this often helps me find some inner peace.

What is a fun fact about you that may surprise people?

I love listening to music (not just RUSH)

What’s the most inspiring part of your job?

During my day job I enjoy helping people and get satisfaction when we see the fruits of our labor pan out. At night I enjoy being a part of something bigger than all of us helping children succeed.
