I grew up on a small mixed family farm where I was involved in different tasks from a very early age.
Over the last few years, I have been working abroad as a team leader and machine operator, mainly on large scale farms in Western and Eastern European countries.
Over the last couple of years, I have been working in different areas of the agribusiness sector. Mostly on the modern farms in Western and Eastern Europe. Spain, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany, Ukraine and Croatia.
