IntroI am the 25 year old son of Rod & Barb Heimer and older brother to my sister Heidi and brother Jacob. I grew up and currently reside in Taylor, Missouri, a small rural town in Northeast Missouri. My current job responsibilities include a marketing position with a company called ArchAngel, LLC, which imports a disinfectant for agriculture from Denmark and I’m a partner and President of H2AG, Inc which is a start-up company that specializes in products for the show animal industry. In addition, I recently spent 3 months in South Florida as a catastrophe claims adjuster handling insurance claims in the wake of Hurricane Wilma. My hobbies include golfing, fishing, reading and spending time with family and friends. I would consider myself an avid fan of all sports, especially the St. Louis Cardinals, and can generally be persuaded to attend any kind of sporting event. I have a high degree of interest in agriculture where I’m active in Agriculture Future of America (AFA) and continue to be involved in the showpig industry. I am very excited about experiencing New Zealand, especially the countryside and their agriculture industry.
