Hometown: Scobey

Elected: 2024

Industry Involvement: I’m the decision maker and operator of a cow calf operation in Daniels County. I have been back on the ranch full time since 2014. In January of 2016 my father DuWayne got in an accident, falling off the front of a wagon. He was paralyzed and since then I have done most of the labor on the ranch. He now has a lift on his pickup and can do some things regarding haying and feeding. My wife Reagann and my daughters get to help out as much as they can.

Leadership Service: Daniels county fair association, Montana Cowboy hall of fame and heritage center trustee.

Challenges facing the beef industry: In my opinion a couple of the biggest challenge facing the industry are regulation concerning the climate change hysteria. Another challenge that concerns me are animal activists such as PETA and the humane society.
