Dan grew up on a corn, soybean, and hog farm in Southern Minnesota where he was involved with 4-H and FFA showing sheep and pigs. Dan's connection to Saint Paul from the State Fair led him to enjoy the campus atmosphere. Learning in the classroom as well as hands-on opportunities kept Dan involved on campus in the livestock facilities and in student organizations. After several internships in agronomy and animal production, Dan works as an agronomist using data to help farmers make decisions on inputs to maximize yield and efficiency. Dan also raises pigs and row-crop farms with his family.
