He shared his time after graduation between the beloved family farm and Mid-America Dairyman. He worked there as a laboratory technician for over 30 years and developed many life-long friends that he cherished. After retirement, he was able to make his primary focus his cow/calf farm that he was born on with his son Brian. They were able to spend a lot of time together outdoors alongside one another. He loved all aspects of farm life/ livestock production.
