My name is Dillon Metz and I’m from Bridgeport, NE. Some of my interests would consist of hunting, fishing, and hanging out with friends. I enjoy working on the electrical side of things and I chose the program because I plan to become a John Deere electrical engineer.

I have always worked on my farm or a neighbor’s farm. I am a volunteer firefighter for Flagler and Vona, Colorado. I am married to my wife Courtney, and together we have a son named Colton. 

I’m interested in becoming a John Deere Tech. I became interested in this industry through my love of mechanics and growing up in a ranching community. Outside of working I raise rabbits for meat.

Hi, I am Westen Filter. I grew up on a small farm in Weldona, Colorado, and graduated from Weldon Valley High school. My interests include hunting and hangout with friends. I chose this program to learn the skills and get a head start in my career of becoming a diesel technician.
