Laine grew up on his family’s farming operation in Williams, CA. Laine takes pride in not only the family business of rice, almonds, walnuts, and cattle but also the close-knit rural community. After graduating from Fresno State University with a degree in Agriculture Business, he decided to pursue a long-lived interest. Laine enlisted in the CA Army National Guard and serves part-time as a CH-47 helicopter maintainer.

Established in December of 1636, the National Guard is the oldest military organization in America. The Guard responds to domestic emergencies, overseas combat missions, counterdrug efforts, reconstruction missions, and more. We are proud of Laine’s commitment to our country.

Upon returning from training, Laine made the decision to combine his background in agriculture production and education to pursue a career in the agribusiness sector of the industry

Laine enjoys an active lifestyle and appreciates spending time outdoors with family and friends.
