T.J. Tuls was born into a dairy family and is a fourth generation dairy farmer. T.J. grew up on his family’s dairy farms in Kansas and Nebraska raising baby calves, caring for cows, farming, and learning each aspect of the family business. At age 19 T. J. left  college and moved to Wisconsin to manage Rock Prairie Dairy during its construction and startup. Six years later in 2016-17 he was actively involved in the permitting, construction, and startup of Pinnacle Dairy. 

After living in Wisconsin for 12 years, T. J. and his wife Erin now live in Nebraska with their son Zane. He is the chief of operations and visits each of the Tuls Dairies' sites monthly conducting animal and facility audits. He is also active in the day to day operations working with operations managers at each of the facilities. T. J. and Todd also launched Dari LLC in 2022 with a mission to continue to grow their business through retail products and processing capability. In June, Dari broke ground on a 240,000 square foot aseptic bottling facility. 

In his free time, he enjoys adventuring with his wife and son, hanging out at the lake, and driving\flying anything with a motor. T. J. is committed to animal care, environmental stewardship, and raising his son Zane who might just be a 5th generation dairy farmer.
