Hi, I'm Vitaly Kirkpatrick, the Industry Sales Manager for Feed & Grain at FOSS North America. My journey has taken me from Chernivtsi, Ukraine, to the forefront of sales and management in the food manufacturing sector. 🎯 My academic background spans a diverse array, including an MBA from the University of Utah, a BS in Computer Science from Utah Valley University, and a BS in Electronics from the National University, among other achievements in Culinary Arts.

With over eight years at FOSS North America, I have cultivated a strong expertise in implementing Near-Infrared (NIR) technology to optimize quality assurance and production processes. My experience in the feed and grain industry and technology sales extends over five years, giving me a nuanced understanding of how innovation drives operational success.

Beyond the professional sphere, I engage deeply in pursuits like piano playing, blogging, cooking, entrepreneurship, and even participating in the National Men’s Physique Competition. I've authored a memoir titled "Vitalty: the Misadventures of a Ukrainian Orphan," reflecting on my upbringing in an orphanage. 📝 Outside work, you'll likely find me exploring creative writing or indulging in vivid culinary experiments inspired by my home's rich culture.
