Hometown?
Fort Scott, Kansas
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in rural Bourbon County outside of Fort Scott, Kansas on a large commercial cattle operation.
How many kids were in your graduating class?
150
If we go back to your senior year of high school, what song was “your song”?
Forgot About Dre- Dr Dre
Were you involved in any extracurricular activities? If so, what?
State Champion Football team, but the real badge of honor was being apart of the 2001 Recreation League champion basketball team!
If you could describe your hometown in one word, what would it be?
Historic
Were there any local traditions or festivals you loved?
Fort Scott has an event called the “Good Ol Days”. I always enjoyed it as a kid.
If someone were visiting your hometown for the first time, what’s the one thing they must do?
Get a sandwich from Marsha’s Deli.
Are there any people in your hometown who shaped who you are today?
I stayed in my hometown and went to community college at Fort Scott. Brian Anderson was my livestock coach at FSCC and if not for him offering me a scholarship my senior year of high school, I highly doubt I would have livestock judged in college and would therefore not be judging this show.
