Mr. Fertilizer Financier
About Me:
Originally from a blue-collar agricultural community, I went to a small private university before working in investment banking. After banking I decided to help my Dad run the family fertilizer company. I’ve worked with CEOs, bankers, farmers, and factory workers.

I went to a non-target school and didn’t know about investment banking until my junior year. Despite this, I found a way to earn a job at a reputable middle market bank.

Post MBA Goal:
There is a debilitating lack of continuity between our production-based and service-based regions that must be fixed in order to usher in the next era of American commerce. In this, I want to strengthen United States agri-food supply chains and nutrition programs. I want to put myself among the best and brightest minds as I work towards this goal.
