Gilson was born in the city of Ouro Fino in 1999; his father, Romildo, was already a coffee grower. Over time, Romildo gradually passed on his knowledge of coffee farming to his son. When he turned 18 Gilson started helping on the farm, applying everything he had learned from his father, which, at the time, had 11 thousand coffee plants. In 2019, Gilson got married and moved to Sitio Mandu to take care of his own plantation, which now consists of 13 thousand coffee plants.
