I’m Teresa Johnson from Krum, Tx. At the age of 50, I took my first ever girls trip in 2019 and needed a safe way to carry and travel with my inherited turquoise jewelry. Starting with a vintage train case, I added some western flair, revamping it into a travel jewelry case. Several ladies on the trip asked me to revamp their grandmas‘ train case with my unique vintage western style. VCC was born.
I’ve been a nurse 33 years and with the Covid pandemic in 2020 I began travel nursing and recognized a need for travel accessories, especially for my cherished squash blossom necklace. Sitting in an airport I designed a squash blossom case to secure and protect my necklace, eventually filing for a patent. I have continued to design and develop western style jewelry cases, travel accessories, and luggage and am so thrilled to now devote my full time to my business with hopes to get my cases into boutiques/stores nationwide.

My name is Sarah Sprayberry. I was born and raised in the hills of Boerne where I began bleeding maroon the second I came out of the womb. To say that my parents are die-hard Aggies would be an understatement, so naturally, I became academically inbred by receiving my bachelor's and master's as well as pursuing my PhD at Texas A&M. In my masters, I developed an E.coli pig model for human environmental enteropathy (a nutritional disease seen in youth in third world countries) while also managing the Texas A&M swine farm as one of the first female operators at Texas A&M. I have always had a passion for agriculture as I grew up raising pigs in 4-H, was involved in my high school’s FFA and competed at horse shows. Through my teaching at Blinn College and working for Texas 4-H, I solidified my desire to connect our youth with the farmers that feed them. I especially love developing culturally responsive programs for minoritized youth that can feel left out or overlooked.

Paige Schmidt is a 4th year veterinary student from Crystal Springs, North Dakota. She grew up working on her family’s 4th generation commercial cow/calf and backgrounding operation. Concurrent to her DVM, Paige is working towards a master’s in biomedical sciences with the Beef Cattle Institute, focusing on pulmonary diseases in feedlot cattle. Paige enjoys beef cattle production medicine and advocating for the industry. She is also currently a 2023 NCBA Trailblazer. She aspires to be an advocate for the industry and sharing the story of the acceptable stewardship it takes to get safe, quality beef from pasture to plate. Her first- hand experience and mentality to provide engaging, and evidence-based content, that advocates for beef production and consumption, will also be incorporated into her future professional career. She is unsure of her future career plans but hopes to focus on beef cattle production on a large scale in the cow/calf or feedlot sector, while implementing advocation for the industry into her professional career.

Allison (Alli) Fender grew up in the gorgeous San Diego backcountry on a small Dairy and Beef operation.

She attended San Diego Mesa College and played soccer on the women’s team while attending the Animal Health program offered there. In 2014, she obtained her Associate of Science Degree in Animal Health Technology and became licensed as a Registered Veterinary Technician. She worked in several small animal hospitals in the area.

A month after graduation in 2014, she and her high school sweetheart were married on Mesa Chiquita Ranch, where she grew up. Her dad gifted her and her husband, Bryce, ten bred heifers, which was the start of their beef herd. Flying F Ranch was established in 2020 after Bryce and Alli created the brand and business selling beef directly to San Diego consumers. Their motto is “We Give a Flying F About BEEF.” In 2021, they added Registered Black Angus cattle into their herd to improve carcass quality. The couple learned more about genetics and began breeding more mindfully, propelling their beef business to a higher level.

Bryce and Alli raise their two sons, Warren and Wells, on the ranch together. They believe raising the next generation beside them will teach the young boys valuable life lessons and memories. Alli is an active member and Vice President of the San Diego CowBelles and helps with local Ag in the Classroom lessons, Beef Promotion, and Advocacy for our industry. In her spare time, she breeds and shows Australian Shepherds, participates in CrossFit, helps with school activities for her sons, is a dog leader for the Julian/Santa Ysabel 4H, started podcasting, and manages the business of Flying F Ranch.
