Raised on a large cash grain, dairy and poultry farm in Central New York, I have spent 40 years in the agri-finance/appraisal world. The last 30 years I have been primarily completing appraisals in New York and reviewing appraisals in the Northeast US. Past President of the Northeast Chapter of the ASFMRA, I have also served on the National Appraisal Review Committee and was Chair of District 1 experience Review Committee. As of late 2018 I have side-stepped into the rural real estate sales business covering all of New York.
