His thirst for knowledge was insatiable, and he constantly sought to enhance his skills. Over the years, he forged a successful career in agricultural sales, culminating in a decade of dedicated service at MacEwen Agricentre. His genuine love for working alongside fellow farmers was evident in his eagerness to both learn from them and offer his assistance."
