Farming and rural life have always been Jodi’s passion, stemming from being born and raised on her family’s small farm in northeast Kansas. After graduating college with a bachelor’s degree in Spanish/Education and a master’s degree in Organizational Administration with an emphasis in Leadership, Jodi’s career has taken her in several directions, but have all helped guide her to agricultural lending. 

Jodi began her adult life as a teacher and then worked on the development of a war simulation at Fort Leavenworth. Her husband’s career influenced where she planted her roots over the subsequent years, but her connection to agriculture remained constant – she owned and operated an appraisal business and, subsequently, she entered into the ag finance sector, where she has remained for the last ten years. Today, Jodi and her husband live in Omaha, Nebraska and operate a small, row crop farming operation.
