MEET THE RANCHERS
DAN
Dan is an accountant, strategic finance expert, and data scientist. He has been a private practice CFO since 2002. He celebrated his 20th anniversary in business in 2022. After graduating from Arizona State University, he started his career at Coca-Cola Enterprises in Tempe, Arizona. Besides the passion he has for supporting his clients, some of which have been with him since the beginning, Dan has a love of the outdoors, horse training, and ranching. He has had a lifetime of experience turning a wrench, working on equipment, and using common sense to solve problems. He keeps the ranch safe and productive. Dan became certified in 2024 with a Master of Beef Advocacy NextGen from the National Cattlemen’s Beef University program.
AMANDA
Dr. Amanda is a veterinarian and previously a partner at a small animal veterinary group in the metro Phoenix area. She has over 20 years of experience in general practice, surgery, dentistry, palliative care, and a certification in veterinary medical acupuncture. She is honored to oversee all our livestock and pets at the ranch. She has been perfecting our artificial insemination program for our foundation herd. What a blessing to run a small production beef cattle operation with an on-site doctor. During Amanda’s veterinary training at Colorado State University, she was lucky to have studied with Temple Grandin, an instrumental professor in teaching and educating on the humane treatment of livestock for slaughter and the author of more than 60 scientific papers on animal behavior.
Meet Our Family
We are blessed with three amazing children who continually drive us to be better people. They believe in our purpose and help us live it every day.
Lucas lives here at the ranch with us. He attends Normangee School right in our small town. He has the responsibility and privilege of daily animal chores and is the finest cattle chuteman his mama knows. Lucas is dedicated to football and continuing quarterback training. We are lucky to be in Texas, true football country.
Kailey is completing a DO program at Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine at New Mexico State University. She has been such a picture of hard work and determination. She reminds us to stay the course even when we have disappointments. She challenges us to keep current with medicine and continual education.
Jake is an aerospace engineer at NASA-Johnson Space Center. He works hard all week in Houston and joins us at the ranch many weekends for projects. Jake can turn the tractor into a building machine. He has a love for all things outdoors. We dream that someday our kids will carry on this operation, all for HIS glory.
