Justin grew up on his family’s cattle and row crop farm outside of White, South Dakota, where he learned the value of hard work and developed a deep appreciation for agriculture and rural communities.
He continued his education at South Dakota State University, earning a degree in Agricultural Economics with minors in Commodity Risk Management, Agricultural Business, and Agronomy. During his time at SDSU, Justin worked as an Ag Economic Research Assistant, gaining valuable insights into the industry.
Justin began his career with Hurley & Associates as an intern and transitioned into a full-time role shortly after. His favorite part of the job is seeing how strong partnerships and well-executed plans can bring tremendous value to an operation. He strives to combine his experiences and knowledge to help producers make confident, informed decisions that strengthen their businesses.
Outside of work, Justin and his wife, Anika, enjoy spending time outdoors, playing card and board games, and being with friends and family.
