I was raised on a farm helping my father and grandfather with cattle and swine besides the normal harvests of corn and soybeans. Come on what else is there in Indiana besides corn?  But seriously I never thought my journey would ever return me to farming.  After we got out of the family business, farming, back in the early 80’s, I knew God had other plans, I ventured into the construction business for many years before branching out into the power sports industry. While working within this industry I finished my teaching degree and started teaching at the local high school.  So when this opportunity was introduced to me by a friend, James, who had spent some time working with farming grown fish (Tilapia, Blue Catfish, and Trout), I had already had many years within successful businesses to see the potential. If I was willing to do the work and if it was ran correctly, of course, it had the makings of something I had never imagined, starting a fish farming business.

My friend knew I had the entrepreneur spirit and the facilities for this to work so I went to work on getting educated.  I spent over a year learning, studying, and planning even before any steps were taken to start the building remodel process.  This allowed me to get the education I needed to avoid many of the pitfalls so may encounter when starting an aquaculture business.  I had a lot of help from James, along with the help from Mike and Jan Sipe who have spent a life time growing and developing the best growing breeders.  So now I had the education and experience backing me to make this dream a reality.
