David Parish

David Parish, 1986 is a proud Biological Science Bison and a Division I All-
American Powerlifter from North Dakota State University. He grew up in small
farming communities in North and South Dakota. With little direction and no
resources available to him, David was able to find a way to attend NDSU and
achieve his degree. Attending NDSU, participating in sports and graduating from
NDSU was one of the proudest moments in his life. After NDSU David went on to
become a potato industry expert and created Agricultural Industry Solutions, a
potato focused company that finds solutions to complex problems in the potato
industry. He has created the Parish Future of Agriculture Scholarship to provide a
hand up to students like himself who have the grit and determination to make a
difference in their lives and the world of Agriculture.
