Henry was born and raised on a family farm in Northeast Kansas. Henry became actively engaged in farming in 1976. In 1981 he was approached with the opportunity to get into the Crop Insurance business. Quickly seeing the great challenge that he and other producers were facing he decided to take that opportunity. Henry was an independent agent from 1981 until 2006 when he became a part owner of the agency he had been contracting with. In 2010 Henry and his business partner decided to divide that agency and he formed Ag Risk Solutions with five of the agents from that team. Henry is still actively engaged in farming in the Atchison area.

I was born and raised on a farm in Atchison County, KS. After graduating from Kansas State University in 2004 with a degree in Ag Economics, I immediately entered the crop insurance industry and have been consulting with ag producers ever since. I’m most passionate about educating producers about various concepts and building tools that can help our clients make informed crop insurance decisions. I have been beyond lucky in my professional life to be surrounded by an incredible team of people who have a passion for agriculture and helping our clients be more successful.

I have two sons (Liam & Lake) and a daughter (Lucy). In my free time I enjoy doing fun and educational activities with my kids, going to concerts and following the Royals & Chiefs.

I was born and raised in Southwest Oklahoma.  I grew up on a diversified farm that focused on cattle, wheat, grain sorghum, and hay production.  During high school, I was an active member of our FFA livestock judging team.  This propelled me on to Butler Community College and Kansas State University where I continued judging at both schools.  After graduation from KSU in 2006, I entered the crop insurance industry.  I'll be honest, I had no idea what I was getting into, I just knew I could tell mom I had a job!  I have been very fortunate to be able to work with a variety of top-notch operations and people all over Central and North Central Kansas throughout my career.
 
I currently reside in Wamego, KS with my wife Melanie, and our four children: Easton, Calder, Merritt, and Jolie.
