I found out I had a natural gift to mediate family situations and disputes. In 2010, I opened an office in Western Ontario and over the past decade have been able to help farmers in over 21 states and four Canadian provinces. For many years, you could say I lived the lifestyle of a “missionary priest,” driving 70,000 miles a year all across North America, helping family farms. Together with his wife (Bernadette) he bought a little farm Iowa and the good Lord blessed us with two and a half children (stork coming Christmas 2021) with an amazing marriage. Bernadette is a key driver of the business from behind the scenes and together we are determined to help as many farms as possible.
