AGRICULTURAL PROFILE:

I was raised on a farm and was actively involved with all daily operations varying from seeding, irrigation, harvesting, cattle handling, hunting, and mechanical repairs.

After High School I started my career at an animal feeding factory, manufacturing, extruding, developing and distributing animal feed to farmers, feedlots & distributors, and ending up with the marketing and logistics department.

I shifted my career further to chemical sales representative focusing on the dairy, citrus & poultry industry. This involved marketing, stock management, distributing, liaising directly with customers and solving all enquiries regarding.

The opportunity to travel abroad and broaden my expertise, took me to the USA as a harvest crew member for a few seasons, I then shifted my career to ranch management which after I developed an interest in large industrial feedlots where I focused on intensive feeding management systems, installing, programming & monitoring the systems as well as managing operations.
