Justin Thomas, Illinois – Nat’l Proficiency Winner

Justin Thomas of the Charleston FFA Chapter in Illinois is the Chapter’s first National Proficiency Finalist and first National Proficiency Winner. Justin credits his FFA Advisor, for “hounding,” him to do the work necessary to become a National Proficiency Winner. After doing some talking of his own, Justin convinced his advisor to take his SAE of restoring tractors and turn it into a fundraiser for the Charleston FFA to raise money, which they have done quite successfully. Justin’s future plans include returning to the home farm and continuing to restore tractors.
