What is a typical day at Mahaska look like for you?
There isn’t much typical about a day at Mahaska, besides clocking in and clocking out. I might be working as a sales rep outside of the plant, or inside making calls and chasing leads. Some days it’s both!

TYR and Muscle Milk (Chocolate).
Favorite snack that Mahaska distributes?
Beef Jerky.
What do you do outside of Mahaska for fun?
Sing, play guitar, attend Mass, read, snowboard (it’s been too long), fish, hunt, golf, fellowship, and watch the Huskers play football.
What’s something no one would guess about you?
I used to be in a heavy-metal band.
How would you think your friends describe you in one sentence?
I would’ve thought they would describe me as a “punk” with a lot to learn. But, I didn’t want to assume, so I asked a few and here is what they said:
“Dusty’s a very contentious and a fast learner.” (My Supervisor)
“A good listener and leader. Attentive, thoughtful, calm, eccentric, fashionable, mysterious, focused in executing, and confident in speaking.”
“A person who continually works to love and serve the Lord. Caring, peaceful and hardworking, vibrant, friendly, trustworthy. Enjoys the new experiences that happen from day to day. An amazing man who is humble, loves God and tries to follow his will. Up-beat, fun loving, who sings from his soul. Deeply cares for others, loyal, reliable, big-hearted, joyful, and friendly. A man made after the heart of God.”
Needless to say, I have very generous and loving friends!
What are you most passionate about?
My Christian Faith
Are you involved in the local community? If so, how?
