Meet the People Behind the Mission

GOTURSIX is led by veterans, families, food producers, and community builders working together to strengthen the future of Missouri's Ozarks.

Our mission is simple:

Championing Ozark Food Producers.

Our work focuses on building the conditions that help producers, entrepreneurs, and rural communities move from survive to thrive. Through projects like Blessing Boxes by Ron, Hellbender Hollow Disc Golf Park, Wright County Farm Stop, community gardens, coaching, and producer partnerships, we are creating opportunities for local people to connect, contribute, and grow.

Our team brings experience in military service, agriculture, education, leadership development, nonprofit management, entrepreneurship, and community organizing. Together, we believe thriving communities are built when local people have access to the relationships, resources, infrastructure, and support they need to succeed.

Our Board of Directors provides governance, accountability, and strategic direction, helping ensure that GOTURSIX remains community-driven and mission-focused.

Together, we are building the Hellbender Third Space—a place where neighbors gather, ideas grow, producers connect, and communities create their own solutions.

Veteran-Founded. Community-Built.

Move From Survive To Thrive.
