Garrett Simmons believes in the power of connection—and he’s not afraid to roll up his sleeves to make it happen. With degrees in agronomy and food policy, he’s as comfortable in a field as he is in a policy forum. A student-athlete, fraternity president, and national conference participant, Garrett has made it his mission to bridge the rural-urban divide and bring people together across backgrounds and beliefs. His story is one of curiosity, courage, and community.

‍His purpose? To grow change from the ground up—and bring people along with him.
