I like to think about myself as a European citizen since I have lived, studied, and worked in Portugal, Finland, France and the Netherlands. I am a proud father and always put family and health first. I have broad experience as a lighting expert and vertical farmer in the Agritech/Hortitech industry, with a track record of identifying new business opportunities, raising capital, creating services and product lines, and bringing it to market, tackling societal and technological challenges. In my spare time, I love mountaineering, running, farming, gardening and any related topic to astronomy and cosmology.
