Mike joined Western States Ranches in 2015 to help oversee agricultural operations. Mike works closely with WSR’s ranch manager to optimize the performance of the land, the animals, and the people who make it all possible.

Before this position, Mike worked with ranchers in North Park and southeastern Colorado on conservation projects that often helped families expand the size of their properties and cattle herds – this meant family members came home and strengthened their operations.

Mike has lived in Colorado since 1997 and grew up spending time in the mountains which is where he developed his love for the landscape he is fortunate enough to work in.

Drew joined Western States Ranches (WSR) in 2022 to help facilitate administrative documentation, coordinate projects, and research and develop relationships in the agricultural community.

Drew’s background is rooted in Colorado on a generational farm in Platteville, CO.

As the fourth generation on his family farm, he has developed a deep passion for the opportunity in agriculture in his home state of Colorado.
