Bio, via Protect the Harvest:

Brian Klippenstein is Executive Director of Protect the Harvest. Brian grew up in Northwest Missouri on a 5,000 acre registered beef cattle farm. He’s worked for ranches and shown cattle from Canada to Argentina. While studying at George Washington University, Brian was Captain of the Varsity Rowing Team and began work part-time on Capitol Hill. After graduating with a degree in Business, Economics and Public Policy, he continued what became a 26-year career working for Congressman Tom Coleman, U.S. Senator Roy Blunt and U.S. Senator Kit Bond, the final five years for whom he was Chief of Staff. Brian and his wife Jackie have two kids and live on a small livestock farm outside of Platte City, MO. For additional fun and adventure, Brian is a competitive off-shore sailboat racer and has completed over 50 marathons, including over a dozen 50-milers and four single-day 100-milers…all fueled by a high-protein diet centered around nutrient-dense red meat.
