Lori’s agriculture and farming roots run deep. She grew up on a farm and earned a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Communications with an emphasis in Advertising from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, before beginning her career in the ag equipment industry at AGCO. Growing up, Lori showed livestock and while it wasn’t her favorite, she became the trusted cow-tail groomer for her brothers before competitions. These days, she’s fulfilling her childhood dream of being like Angela Bower from the 80s sitcom “Who’s the Boss?” — building a life as both a successful career woman and a great mom. She’s raising three teenagers who keep her humble and up to date on what’s “cringey.”
