STEVEN SNELSON
Master Grower
Tulsa,Oklahoma
Summary
I am a 2nd generation cultivator from the world-famous Matanuska Valley, Alaska. Head grower for 20 years with indoor and greenhouse; legal cannabis, managing day-to-day operations.
I have a well-rounded understanding of commercial cultivation operations and SOP's. I thrive under pressure and handle stressful situations calmly. I am an experienced breeder with a good understanding of different strains and terp profiles. I am passionate about achieving the highest standard product possible with lowest overhead cost.
In 2019 I created a new strain, named Stieble. This included creating the packing, branding and marketing from beginning to end. I'm constantly learning and pushing the boundaries to make the best possible cannabis that all can enjoy.
