Kirk has volunteered for 4-H for 2-1/2 years. He currently serves on 4-H Council and Rabbit VIPS Committee. He is also the leader for BB/Air rifle portion of the Lancaster Shooting Sports program.
"I like being a 4-H volunteer because it allows me to continue working with my kids in a setting outside of school," says Kirk. "My favorite experiences have been putting on the County Fair Shooting Sports contest, my involvement with 4-H Council, and helping get other individuals involved as volunteers."
"Even though Kirk is a relatively new volunteer, he has taken a leadership role in many 4-H duties," says 4-H staff member Tracy Kulm. "He has stepped up and is willing to go the extra mile."
Kirk lives in Lincoln with his wife Brandy and their children Koral, Miranda and Bailee, who are all members of 4-H. He also volunteers with the National Wild Turkey Federation as the Crete Chapter President and with Ducks Unlimited as Lancaster County Chapter Treasurer.
