Cory grew up near his current home on a small hobby farm, where he developed a love for the soil and everything it provides. His college education began at Hesston College, a small Christian junior college in central Kansas, where he gained a solid foundation of knowledge and connected with a custom harvest crew. He followed the wheat harvest for a whole season, enjoying the opportunity to see all the beautiful countryside from the seat of a combine.

Cory then attended Purdue University, completing a Bachelor of Science in Agronomy degree in 2016. While at Purdue, he worked a summer at the Purdue Diagnostic Training Center, creating and maintaining plots for training agricultural industry professionals. After graduation, he went to work on his uncle’s farm, specializing in chemical and fertilizer programs and application.

Cory joined the Amplify Network in 2022 under the sponsorship of Steve Kiefer and has been very impressed with the network’s “Go-Giver” mentality.

Cory and his wife, Julianna, have been married for five years and have two young children. He enjoys caring for their small herd of cattle, hiking, camping, and bluegrass music.
