God is writing the story, i’m just turning the pages.

Iowa FFA thank you for trusting me and making my dreams come true, There’s no amount of words to describe the all of the emotions I felt these last couple of days. I am so so blessed to be serving this next year as the Iowa FFA State Secretary. I cant wait to serve the the next 365 days with the best crew and organization filled with 20,000 people that I love. Thank you Iowa FFA. Its time for us to pick up the pen and start writing our story together, becuase the rest is still unwritten.🫶🏽🥹

For the very first time,
Your 2026-2027 Iowa State Secretary 💙

I’m not sure I’ll ever find the right words for what this past year has meant to me.

This year has reminded me how much this organization is built on people who care deeply, lead quietly, and give without needing recognition. I am in awe of the love and support I have felt this year from members, chapters, family, and friends. I especially feel blessed to have served alongside my teammates that grew as a family and pushed each other towards greatness.

Iowa FFA, thank you for a great year. As I am named the 2026-2027 State FFA President, I am excited and grateful for another year of opportunities, laughter, and impact.

See ya around, Iowa FFA!

Another year, another state leadership conference. It has been a real honor to serve again as the Iowa FFA’s Audio/Visual Coordinator!

As always, it was great to catch up with the team I started this journey with and spend time working with the people I’ve grown so close with to help the state officer team light up Hilton Coliseum!

I’m filled with such gratitude to be able to give back to the organization that has given me so much. There is no doubt in my mind the future of agriculture is filled with such bright and intelligent leaders.

Congratulations to Lindsay on a year well served and congratulations Andrew, welcome to the NEVP family!

luckily, I think blue corduroy is in my color palette 😉

pictures and a caption simply CANNOT compete with the real and authentic moments of what makes this organization SO real and SO special. Freshman year me would have NEVER guessed the journeys I would take here- always thankful, always grateful, and never taken for granted. It really does change lives.

HAPPY NATIONAL FFA WEEK(: #ffa#nationalffa#nationalffaweek

Still at a loss for words after an unforgettable year with Iowa FFA. Serving as your 2024–2025 State Secretary has been one of the greatest honors of my life — a journey full of growth, challenge, joy, and memories I’ll carry with me forever. This past year has shown me the true meaning of leadership, service, and heart.

To my retiring team: thank you for becoming more than teammates — thank you for becoming my family. Each of you made this year brighter, stronger, and full of laughter. I am endlessly grateful for every late night, every hard conversation, and every moment we pushed each other to be better. You will always have a piece of my heart.

As one chapter closes, another begins. I am incredibly honored to have been elected to serve as the 2025–2026 Iowa FFA State President. The opportunity to lead and represent the members of this amazing organization is not something I take lightly. I’m beyond excited to walk into this year with eight remarkable individuals who are passionate, kind, and committed to serving FFA members across Iowa. It’s about giving back to an organization that has given me more than I could ever put into words.

Here’s to a year of courage, faith, and unwavering service, and members who inspire us daily. And here's to living every moment with gratitude, heart, and purpose.

I had a FIRE time in Iowa last week… pun intended 🔥🔥

I knew the Hawkeye (or Cyclone🌪️?) state had lots of pigs, cattle, and corn, but was constantly reminded its also full of good people during State Leadership Conference! From serving others to doing the juicy wiggle and swing dancing to meeting new friends, I’m so happy I got a taste of “Hilton Magic” and true midwestern hospitality. Iowa FFA members know how to have a great time, celebrate each other, and complete the ultimate state duo: OH-IO-WA! Don’t change a bit, Iowa FFA 💙

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
-2 Timothy 4:7

From the very first moment I zipped up that blue corduroy jacket, I had no idea just how deeply this journey would shape me. Iowa FFA gave me more than titles, events, and experiences—it gave me purpose, a chance to serve, and a family that believed in me every step of the way.

Thank you to my family—without you, I wouldn’t have had the courage to pursue this journey over the past year. Your encouragement, love, and support mean more to me than you will ever know.

Mediapolis FFA, Mrs. Imhoff, Mr. Fritz, and Mr. Wagner—thank you for challenging me and pushing me to become the best version of myself every day. I’m truly grateful for the support you’ve shown me throughout my years in this organization. I’ll always be proud of the name on the back of my jacket.

To my team—
I never imagined how close I’d grow with all eight of you this past year. From friends to family, I’m proud to call you my brothers and sisters. There aren’t enough words to express the gratitude and appreciation I feel for having served alongside you. I’m so proud of the impact we made together. I love each of you with my whole heart.

To the members and advisors—
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. Every early morning, every mile traveled—it was all worth it because of you. Your kindness, hard work, and passion fueled me every single day this year. Thank you.

And to those who encouraged me, mentored me, prayed for me, and walked beside me—
You are the reason I was able to give my best. Every conference attended, every chapter visit delivered, and every moment poured into others was powered by your support and God’s unwavering grace.

Though I close this chapter in my life, I’m beyond excited for what the Man above has in store for me next. I love you all, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Standing Tall For The Final Time,
2024-2025 Iowa FFA Southeast State Vice President
