Sales Manager
(217) 972 - 0921Jerry was born and raised on a Dewitt County Illinois farm just outside of Wapella, IL. He spent his youth on a tractor or in a cattle pasture and in 1989 his father, Dan, started a seed dealership which Jerry helped with as often as possible. After High School, He went on to Black Hawk East and then to ISU. During and after ISU he worked at Country Companies in Bloomington and quickly realized that life behind a cubicle wall was not for him. He left Country Companies in 2004 to get back to agriculture with CaseIH as a Precision Farming Specialist, and he loved getting back in the field with the farmers. In 2008, Monsanto came calling with an opportunity to get back in the Seed Business. Jerry spent the next 15 years within the Monsanto Corporate structure as a District sales manager, rising to the top and winning master sales along the way. It became apparent the corporate structure was going to pull Jerry further and further away from the field with the farmer so when the opportunity came with Integrated seed solutions to bring his customers the best genetics without the corporate chaos Jerry hopped on board.
