Cody Griess

Founder & Executive Director

Cody was raised with the values of faith, compassion, and hard work. Growing up as the son of farmers, he developed a deep passion for agriculture and the principles it instills. He has spent time in full-time ministry and now works alongside his family in their farming operation.

Cody is currently pursuing a Master of Theology and enjoys preaching when called upon. Outside of work and studies, he can often be found playing fetch with his dog, spending time at the lake with family, hunting, playing sports with friends, or cheering on the Cornhuskers.

He founded Cultivate Global as an act of faith, following a vision the Lord gave him at age 20. Cody has a heart for the Gospel, people, and agriculture—and sees Cultivate Global as the unique intersection of all three.
