My name is Matthew Dollinger. I was raised in the town of Joliet in Will County. I attended Joliet Catholic Academy for high school. I got involved with the house because my father, Edward Dollinger, and cousin, Tyson Dollinger are both alumni of Alpha Gamma Rho Alpha Chapter. My family owns a farm in Channahon, which is about twenty-five minutes south of Joliet. We grow around 4000 acres of corn and soybeans as well as 10 acres of pumpkins. During the month of October we open the farm to the public and have hayrack rides, a corn maze, and haunted house for the publics amusement.
Here at school I am majoring in Agricultural and Consumer Economics with a concentration in Ag-Finance. In the house, I will be the next VNR Finance this upcoming Spring and Fall . This summer I am interning with Monsanto in New Orleans, Louisiana and am very excited about this opportunity. I am enjoying my time here at school and am looking forward to the next semesters.
