As a child, he would spend his holidays with his grandparents in Tomești, Harghita county, and with the ones in Stânceni, Mureș county, whose yards he would fill with animals he would “collect” from the village.

He went to high school far away from his parents, in Gheorghieni, because that’s where there was one with a zoological technical profile. This is what made him, as he says, more responsible, more organized. After high school he seems to not have oriented himself very well. He followed other people’s opinion, he didn’t go to the veterinary medicine faculty, because all the farms were destroyed and he went to Hungary. Then he made a post high school management and customs relations course, until 2002, but he says it was for nothing
