After graduating college, Dwight went into the oilfield with Schlumberger and then running downhole cameras. He left the oilfield and became a Nursing Facility Administrator and opened his farm the next year. It gives him a sense of purpose and responsibility for others depending on his security and decision making 24 hours a day. He is a leader, a worker, on-site animal first aid, and enjoys the benefits of feeding his community and his family.
