Iowa Player with Heart: Evan Keppy

Evan Keppy was chosen as a Beck's Player with Heart for his commitment and passion on and off the field and mat. In school, Evan plays football, wrestles, is Vice President of his FFA chapter, and is a member of the North Scott Singers program. He loves being part of activities that excel in their respective categories. Whether qualifying for state duals in wrestling or attending the MCDA convention with his choir program, he's excited to participate in these programs and continue to set a good example for younger classes. In his community, Evan is involved with 4-H and his church's youth group. In 4-H, they often do community service, such as picking up trash on local walkways or making flowerpots for a local retirement home. He also goes on a mission trip every summer with his youth group, and this past summer visited Denver, where they gave back to the community around them. Evan views agriculture as raising, growing, or providing something for people to consume or use, and as a constant service to others. Evan recognizes that agriculture requires sacrifice because he sees that farmers are giving their time, energy, and materials for the good of others without expecting anything in return. He appreciates little things, like getting new piglets in the barn or walking around a freshly sprouted field in the spring and waking up knowing that he's going to have a great day at work. Evan plans to attend Iowa State to major in agronomy. He wants to be in his hometown and either open his own agronomy services company or work for a local agronomist or seed dealer.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
