Stephen Nielsen

Stephen was not originally an "ag-guy," which is precisely why Landus found him so appealing. His problem-solving skills are grounded in twenty years of general civil practice law in Des Moines, followed by seven years at another cooperative. This experience has earned him a reputation as an out-of-the-box, solutions-based thinker. Before his legal career, Stephen served as a U.S. Marine and was honorably discharged. He holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Iowa and a Juris Doctorate from Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan.
