“I came to the United States when I was 12 years old. After graduating high school, I started working with Broetje Orchards on the repack crew. I moved up quickly from the night shift to palletizing boxes in the segregating room. Over the past five years I have been given many opportunities to learn other areas of this business. I’m the kind of person who isn’t afraid of taking on new tasks or opportunities. All of these different responsibilities and job titles have pushed me to grow. I like working hard to move our crops and get them to people who need and enjoy eating our product.”
