Sales

I am a graduate of Western Illinois University and have been involved in agriculture since graduation. Most of that time was spent within retail ag, with an emphasis on seed sales. Toward the end of my retail-ag career, I was a location manager, which provided a great deal of experience and knowledge that I utilize today working with Springfield Plastics.

As a territory salesman, I cover Western Illinois and a small corner of Northeast Missouri. I support and evaluate my customers' needs to ensure those customers are not only satisfied with Springfield Plastics' products and services but are also confident we are providing top-quality installations.

I am married to Kristen, and we have a daughter Cecilia. We live outside of Macomb, Illinois. We enjoy traveling, spending time outside, and hanging out with friends and family. I currently serve as an associate director for the McDonough County Soil and Water Conservation District board and maintain a certified crop advisor license.

I grew up in a small farming town in Central Illinois. I attended ISU, receiving a bachelor’s degree in agronomy management with a minor in soil science.

At Springfield Plastics, I work alongside drainage contractors, farmers, and landowners who all have great operations but realize they need to improve their drainage plans. They notice that their drainage issues are causing them loss of yields, frustrating hours of lost production, and sometimes concerns of needing to replant. We direct them to the right drainage solutions, field mapping, and marketing needs. In addition to fixing drainage problems, I am also a conservation specialist and work alongside groups like NRCS, Wetland’s Initiative, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Ducks Unlimited, and Pheasants Forever to help find ways for landowners to manage the water leaving their farms.

I am currently the Vice President of the Livingston County Young Leaders. I hold a front-line position with Livingston County Pheasants Forever to help youth hunters and rehabilitate habitats through conservation practices. My family and I also help in any way to grow our local community in Dwight, Illinois. Plus, we help train foster dogs for their forever homes.

I have been involved in the agriculture industry for my entire professional career and have experience in the ethanol industry, the fertilizer business, and production agriculture. I am a territory salesman with Springfield Plastics, covering most of Northeast Indiana and a few counties in Western Ohio. I work with contractors and farmers to ensure they are getting the right products and services they need to get the job done.

My family includes my wife, Mikki, a certified general appraiser for Farm Credit Mid America; and our three children, Landree, Annisten, and Wade. We are heavily involved in the cattle industry, raising, selling, and showing livestock across the country.

I volunteer as superintendent of the beef committee for our local 4-H program. I’m also a member of the Indiana and American Chianina Association and the Indiana LICA organization.
