FFA in the USA reporter
Michael German
Eureka FFA · California
I am a junior in Eureka FFA, representing California, and currently serve as the North Coast Region President. Throughout my time in FFA, I have been lucky enough to have been a State finalist in LDE's all years I have participated, and place 4th high team for Forestry at State finals. When I'm not in the jacket, I'm either talking people's ears off, listening to music, hanging out with friends, taking photos, or hiking. Send me an email or DM on Instagram to have your story told!
