Hi everyone.  This is a photo of what I usually “don’t” look like.  I just don’t feel right without being beside my big John Deere.  I graduated from Iowa State University and farmed for a while before starting my own business, Iowa Grow, Inc.  It’s now in it’s 17^th year.   It’s a shitty business but someone has to do it.  Nevertheless, this is me, my wife and daughter.  Sue works at the University of Iowa College of Law where she will celebrate her 30^th year next summer.  Taylor will be 14 in September and is in the 8^th grade at Mid-Prairie Middle School.  She is quite talented in music – singing, playing piano and clarinet.  She also loves horses and playing softball.   Needless to say, she probably won’t be taking over the shit hauling business from her old man.  See you all at the reunion.
