Fred brings a wealth of experience to his role, having spent decades in investment management, wealth management, and mergers & acquisitions. His deep understanding of land values stems from a lifelong passion for improving and investing in farmland, a pursuit that has consistently yielded superior returns and personal satisfaction.

Born in Fargo, North Dakota, Fred’s upbringing was steeped in the traditions of hunting and fishing alongside his Dad and 5 brothers, activities he continues to cherish today. He holds a BA in Business Administration with an Economics Core from St. John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota. His professional journey has been marked by significant accomplishments, including authoring the book "Three Generations from the Outhouse," which offers practical insights into investing in assets that can provide both growing passive income and long-term capital appreciation.

Fred resides in Sienna Plantation, Missouri City, Texas, with his wife Lori of 43 years. Fred is driven by a desire to work together with his son Reagan as Midwest Land Group expands into new regions. His hands-on experience with transforming his Southern Iowa and Northern Missouri farms into wildlife sanctuaries underscores his practical knowledge and passion for land. Serving on the boards of a private Christian school and his church during the global financial crisis has further honed his leadership and community engagement skills.
Fred's combination of extensive investment expertise, a deep-rooted connection to rural life, and a genuine enthusiasm for land improvement enable him to expertly assess the potential value and return on investment for any farm, ensuring his clients make informed and profitable decisions.
