Myself and my wife Robyn live in Dakota City, Iowa. We have two children and four grandchildren.
I worked at New Cooperative for 13 years as an agronomist. Also an RSM for 19 years in the
seed industry. I love the challenge and experience that I can bring to the farmer. Lots of hobbies,
but most of all me and my wife Robyn like to spend time with our grandchildren and travel.
Looking forward to my next chapter in my life, with Jacobsen Seed!
