Working with Blake made my summer internship overall much more enjoyable, he brings a lot of energy to the work place and definitely created a unique internship for myself and the others I worked with last summer. I was able to get a lot of valuable experience thanks birddogs service.

Blake helped line me up with the perfect internship opportunity this summer. He puts his interns first, and is always quick to help, answer, and solve any questions or concerns I had. He has helped open up many opportunities for my future career, and I look forward to continuing to work with Birddog!

Blake was able to give me insight on both my career path and my life path. I got Blake’s information through SIU and had applied for an internship. He was extremely helpful through the whole process. Unfortunately, due to a conflict I was left looking for another job and Blake offered I come be his summer intern. I learned more than I thought I could that summer. Blake introduced me to many different connections in the ag industry. He has quickly turned into a mentor and has helped me solve various problems with leadership conflicts, career path and goal organization. I highly recommend his services to anyone for the sole fact that he cares. If you tell him where you want to be or where you want to work, he will do everything in his power to help you achieve those goals and get to your end result. I don’t know many people out there like Blake, so if you get the opportunity to work for or with him, I strongly recommend you soak up everything he has to say.
