I worked there for many years as an advisor and later as a member, representing a farm operation. I later held different positions, including that of Treasurer and Chairman.

Since 1983 I share the firm with agronomist Juan María Palacios (Ing. Agr.). Later on, Antonio Leach and Juan Harrison, both also agronomists, joined as associates.
