Summary

I have 30 years experience in cannabis cultivation, starting out as a small, independent hydroponic indoor grower in the Chicago area in the early 1990's through managing large farms up to and following recreational legalization in California. Watching the industry grow from infancy through the current climate offers a unique perspective and ability to adapt.
