In 2010 I made my first purchase of 30 black angus bread heifers and the chalice brand was officially in use. Ever since I have ran cattle in North West Nebraska. I was able to fully fund my college degree and have since grown my heard to 70 pairs and 3 bulls. Operating a cow-calf operation has given much more than financial stability; I can also proudly state that I am an active part of a ranching family dating back to our homestead in 1886. I also work as an outside contractor in private aviation. During my time at Jet Link Corporation I have gone from Charter Sales Representative to the Director of Charter Development. Working side by side with the CEO I have negotiated million dollar contracts, managed employees, and grown into the professional I am today. The constant fast paced industry of private aviation has allowed me to hone my skills of time management, organization, and most importantly, my ability to have the difficult discussions with a multitude of personalities.
