Tell us a little about your champion:
I enjoyed having all three of those barrows in my barn this year they did everything they were supposed to with no issues.
If I have everything planned out leading up to a show everything typically goes smoothly. If there’s stuff going on around the farm while getting ready for a show tensions can run high between my dad and I but it always works out.
It was an awesome experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to end off my summer.
Do you prefer summer or winter shows? Why?
Summer shows definitely I hate being cold.
Who’s been your biggest influence?
My Dad and Jesse Hoblyn have been the two biggest influences on my career. I can’t thank those two enough and everyone else who’s been by my side.
Do you and your family raise pigs?
We do not, I’d like to someday.
What’s your favorite thing to do in the barn?
Everything I just turn on my speaker and roll.
What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?
Going to shows.
