Spouse: Verla Darrington

Hometown: Verla and I live in Declo, Idaho. 

How many generations?
I am the third generation farming in the Declo area.

I'm proud to be a farmer because... I like wide open spaces and the opportunity to see a project completed from beginning to end. I really like planting small seeds and harvesting their abundance.

My favorite way to eat a potato:
Mashed with some skin left on, butter and sour cream, and the perfect amount of salt and pepper added.
