Meet John
John is a conservative outsider and lifelong Tennessean. He is raising his family on the Generational Rose family farm because Tennessee is his home.
In fact, John is the 8th generation to live and farm in the adjoining Temperance Hall and Lancaster communities in Dekalb and Smith Counties. He started working on the farm as a kid and was raised in nearby Cookeville. John graduated from Cookeville High School and continued his education at Tennessee Tech University, home of the Golden Eagles. He studied agriculture at Tech, an easy choice for him since farming has always been a passion of his.
Great time at the Morgan County Lincoln Dinner! Tennessee's future depends on folks who are willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work to preserve our faith, families, freedoms, and communities.
Nothing beats spending the day at the Grainger County Tomato Festival! Tennessee's longtime traditions bring people together, and I loved visiting with so many wonderful folks. 🍅
There's dignity in performing skilled labor with your own two hands, like welding, pipe fitting, plumbing, and farming. I'll help Tennessee vocational education be #1 in America for connecting students with high-paying jobs in their field, whether they get more training and education after high school or not. Right now, agricultural education in West and East Tennessee is understaffed. I'll fix that and work to make all areas of Vo. Ed. (or CTE) thrive.
