Operations Manager
Came to the US at the age 8 years old and have been living in Homestead FL even since. I have been working with produce all of my life. In my early years I would help my father in the fields planting and/or picking all types of fruits and vegetables that are grown in the Redland’s. In 1997 at the age of 17 right out of High School, my first job was working in a packinghouse that dealt with imported produce as well as locally grown. I have done it all, from shipping, receiving, repacking, and food safety. I was able to work my way through College and eventually made working with produce a career for me. I love spending time and making memories with my family. My son and daughter are my most precious gift and blessing from God. I enjoy playing all types of sports, basketball in particular is my favorite. I enjoy having conversations with people because everyone has an interesting story to tell.
