ABOUT ME

I was born and grew up in Brazil.

At the age of 17 had the opportunity to attend an incredible progressive boarding hich school in the UK, founded by the eastern philosopher Krishnamurti.

After high school I moved to California, studying engineering, and at the moment am moving into the the renewable energy field.

From 2010-2012 I worked in Switzerland in the geothermal and solar thermal field as an Engineer.
in 2013, I returned to Brazil and to the family farm, and started my new professional journey as a farmer.
