Welcome to my website, which is now fifteen years old.

Eighteen years ago when I first started my Brazil research and adventure I was looking for someone like myself to help me understand the dynamics of the Brazil market place better. With much assistance from Brazilian and American friends, this site continues to evolve and grow.

My VIP Consulting Services and Ag Investment Tours are for those wanting to understand Brazil's Ag sectors while meeting specific business objectives of international professionals. I have led investment and agricultural groups from the USA, Canada, UK, Africa and China to see first hand Brazilian Agriculture (Argentina as well). 

Drop me a note if you have any questions. ​

NEWSLETTER: November
  • 14th  This newsletter is getting too big. It is time to send it out.  I do plan to zip out to Mato Grosso in November and drink some beer.

    If Bolsonaro does not win in two weeks, then this newsletter is kind of silly.

    But he seems to have a solid lead and there is a "Kick the Bums Out" mindset.
