David is in his first year in the Pro-Tech program, studying Farm Operations and Management. When he graduates, he would like to either work at Agrivision or to farm.

He currently has an internship at Agrivision in Paulina.

“I’ve worked parts and currently am working as a service tech. I have worked with many new tools, and a range of old to new equipment.”

David has appreciated the academics, internship, and social aspect experiences he has experienced at Dordt.

“My favorite part has been working and going to school and learning more about other farm operations from friends.”
