Having the opportunity to bring my skills in leadership, business development, and team development to this organization is a great fit! Farming is truly the foundation for our nation. To bring farmers the solutions GroGuru is developing is going to be unbelievably exciting! I'm grateful for the opportunity to be involved!"
