fourth generation farmer, rooted in tradition.

I serve as a chief executive for Ghiggeri and Stonebarger Farms, where I direct the production of our Sweet Corn, green bean, tomato and cherry  operations.


I also manage the expanding second arm of our family business, G&J Marketing, a sales firm that has fostered close relationships with large grocery distribution partners and has coordinated regional harvesting strategies.  Our mission is strengthening our own farm’s stability that of our local grower-partners. G&J Marketing now represents sales for approximately 2500 acres of fresh market Sweet Corn throughout the West Coast annually.

Farmers today need support to adapt in this rapidly evolving industry.  I see an opportunity for American Ag Credit to project its credibility and extend its knowledge when responding to industry change.


Most importantly, I believe it is that vital American Ag Credit remain in touch with the effects those changes have on its members.Whether it’s labor laws, food safety regulations, freight constraints, or technology advancements, a true partner brings solutions and support

Having the right support is crucial. My family and I have watched our business thrive because of the leverage extended by our partner, American Ag Credit.  Having experienced so much industry evolution in such a short period has made me flexible, seasoned, ambitious and extremely valuable to other industry members.


A vote for me is a vote to bring something dynamic to the table as we pioneer the future of agricultural lending.
