A native of Brookfield, Jody knows north Missouri, its diverse landscape and unique hunting opportunities. Growing up, he spent most of time outdoors. Without a doubt, hunting and fishing with his dad and brother are some of his fondest childhood memories. After graduating college with a degree in Safety Management, moving back to north Missouri for family and the exceptional hunting opportunities was a big priority for him.
While working as a safety engineer in a corporate setting, he trained gun dogs, planted food plots and managed water levels in his free time. Developing hunting properties gained him hunting privileges on private lands and diversifies his hunting opportunities. It was during this time that a spark was lit.
Jody forged his passion for hunting, habitat management, and conservation into a career when he formed Graff Habitat LLC. Jody hung up the suit and tie and is now responsible for the management and development responsibilities on more than 6,000 acres in north central Missouri. Absentee landowners and club owners trust him to provide sound advice for the long-term vision and development plans for their properties.
Realizing there was yet another way to assist his clients, Jody obtained his real estate license and partnered with Trophy Properties and Auction in Ballwin, Missouri. The evolution from planting food plots, to providing a comprehensive management solution, then to real estate was a very natural progression for Jody. He has been a consistent top performer with Trophy Properties and Auction year after year
