Although farming takes up a lot of my time, I continue to put emphasis on the importance of work-life balance. In my spare time I also l train for triathlons. I have two dogs and a wonderful girlfriend Samantha. We enjoy traveling, exploring the outdoors and going for runs together. We would consider ourselves foodies, love to try different foods and recipes, on our travels we are always up to immerse ourselves in local cuisine. On top of all that, family is my number one priority.
