Overall, he is an entrepreneur, author, adviser, teacher and most of all – farmer!

He was born on a farm, raised on a farm, planted beans and maize, tended cattle, and went through some of the driest seasons in terms of production. Lost animals, lost crops to drought, and suffered tick infestations, used different forms of acaricide that didn't work.

When he finished university, he decided that when he started his own family, he would take them back to the farm to make an impact from the grassroots level from where things started. He has especially strong experience in dairy and value addition and in a range of crops.

So, the things that he shares with you, he has experienced on a personal level, on a family level, and so the lived experience that he brings is to find a way to increase productivity, to get information and knowledge on what should be done to transform our farms and increase our incomes.
