  Jan 2007 - now

  Small business owner

  On a personal front, running a small Dairy Farm, "GAG Dairy & Farming" enriches me with sound agriculture and dairy farming knowledge. It is a small venture with a herd of around ten milking animals and a land of 14 acres. Being close to nature and carrying on family traditions is something I love doing and accumulating my skillset.
