Kim was born and raised in Maddock and graduated from high school in 1998.  In December 2001 she graduated from Northwestern Bible College in Roseville, MN and returned home to farm with her dad, Paul. 

In 2002, Kim, her father and 3 area farmers began Precision Ag Results.  In early 2002, she and her dad took five days of training in precision ag mapping from SST Software in Stillwater, OK.  Through the training, along with the help of Gary Wagner of Crookston, Kim began making maps for variable rate nitrogen application.  Through the years, Kim’s role changed from not only mapping, but also soil testing and then to organizing and running the soil testing/mapping side of the business.

Throughout all these years, Kim had been traveling to Poland on many short-term mission trips.  In December 2012, Kim decided to move to Poland to be able to focus more on learning the Polish language and sharing the gospel of Jesus with them.  Kim currently lives in Poland, but thanks to technology, she continues to work for PAR making maps.
