OFI 1670: Working For A Business To Learn A Business | FFA SAE Edition | Isaac Hopke | Spooner High School FFA
Isaac Hopke is the current Wisconsin State FFA Secretary. He is also the owner of American Landscaping in Spooner, Wisconsin and a student at the Univeristy Of Wisconsin, River Falls. Isaac's family purchased their farm when he was just four years old, but he can still remember the transition. From that point forward he developed a passion for the agricultural life and began showing animals in the 4H.
When 7th Grade arrived, Isaac was eligible to sign up for the FFA in his middle school. At the same time his older brother was slated to go the National Convention but had to drop out, so Isaac took his place. After seeing his first National Convention, Isaac was hooked! He has been totally devoted to serving in the FFA ever since.
Isaac continues to run American Landscaping, even as a full-time college student. And, he is currently changing his business status from sole proprietor to LLC. He has all of his options for a future career open right now with self-employment remaining at the top of the list.
OFI 1621: I Want A Career For My 11th Birthday | FFA SAE Edition | Andrew Snook | Mifflinburg Area High School FFA
Andrew Snook is the owner of Snook's Lawncare & Landscaping in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania. He is also the 2022 Pennsylvania State Star Award Winner in agribusiness. This all started when Andrew was very young and wanted very badly to push a lawn mover. Over time that developed to him requesting to go with his grandfather when he was out mowing other people's lawns. Finally, when Andrew was 11 years old he asked for a push mower for his birthday and was gifted one. This launched his entrepreneurial endeavor.
Andrew has also been exposed to agriculture and farming on his uncle and cousin's farm nearby his whole life. So, when he was first exposed to the FFA it felt like a natural fit for him and something that he wanted to pursue. Little did he know how well his love for lawn mowing and landscaping would fit with the required supervised agricultural experience.
Today, Andrew and his father co-own Snook's Lawncare & Landscaping, and they just converted it to an S-Corp. Andrew now has 2-3 crews working for him, he has added snow removal to the list of things that they do, and he sees the sky as the limit on where he can take this business!
