Born and raised in Colombia, Helmut Drews grew up going to the dairy farms of his grandfather where he specialized in the Holstein breed from California. He graduated from Georgia Tech with a Mechanical Engineering degree and has an MBA from UC Berkeley.
Though he spent the first 10 years of his career in strategy consulting, and corporate development in technology, the pull towards getting back to the land, raising animals, and following his grandfather’s pioneering footsteps inspired him to start Encina Farms.
