My studies at Texas Tech brought me the brilliance to work successfully for 25 years in the rice and grain trade on a worldwide basis and as such it brought me time-wise also back to the rice and grain trade (Export) out from the U.S.A., but my focus was to build up a worldwide operation from zero to an annual turnover (physical shipments) of about 500.000 m/ts of rice and about 1.5 mio tons of grains.

Thereafter, I founded with a long term business partner (Peruvian/American) a highly sophisticated company in Peru for "Comfort Adventure Tours" named MLP where we operate 7 comfort lodges and one hotel in Cusco. About 60 % of our guests come from the U.S.A. and it is always a pleasure to be with the American Guests.
