Early Training

Dr. Darin Madson (PhD '09)

As someone who gives a number of talks throughout the year, Darin Madson speaks highly of the preparation FFA provided him. Detailing the skills learned including etiquette and responsibility, Madson also added, “I know I wouldn’t be where I’m at today if I did not have those opportunities to explore new or different events/interactions. I will never forget those and the friends I made.” Madson currently works at Iowa State University as a veterinary pathologist. He completes autopsies on animals to determine their cause of death.
