Cody Vanderholm blends his rural upbringing with a passion for storytelling and strategic communication in agriculture. Growing up around livestock taught him grit, problem-solving, and the ability to make things happen with whatever was available — whether that meant baling wire, duct tape, or a prayer.

With experience collaborating across multiple industries, Cody has developed strategic partnerships, executed major projects, and managed comprehensive marketing efforts that truly connect with audiences. Now serving as Project & Digital Media Manager, he focuses on creating meaningful, high-quality content while building strong, lasting relationships. Guided by the belief that “it takes 20 years to build a reputation and seconds to ruin it,” he brings integrity, creativity, and a relationship-driven mindset to every project.

Outside of work, Cody continues to run Vanderholm Media, producing photography and video content for clients. He enjoys watching ISU, traveling, sampling bourbons from across the country, and keeping up with the fast-paced world of Formula 1 — all while trying to figure out why every battery he owns drains faster than a free donut at a co-op meeting.
