Why did you choose Kirkwood? I chose Kirkwood as it is a very nice facility, and the campus location was ideal. They also offer all of the programs that I wanted to participate in as well.
What is your major and how did you choose it? I am majoring in Diesel Ag Technology and Ag Sciences. I chose these as I have always liked working on machinery and getting my hands dirty. Both of these programs also have promising career opportunities with knowledge that I can bring back to my own Family’s Farm.

What inspires or motivates you? My Dad and Grandfather inspire me as they are the hardest-working and most successful people I know.
Tell us about who you are outside of Kirkwood. I do a lot of farming. I work for a farmer outside of Swisher during the week and go home on the weekends and farm some more. Outside of that, I hang out with friends playing a lot of card games and having a good time.
What does being named an Outstanding Student mean to you? Outstanding Student to me means that you stand out more than the rest, in a good way.
