I have a mission to help make people remember that hemp is the most important crop in the world and always has been. My goal is to use hemp and the regenerative and eco-friendly tools of permaculture to large scale Industrial Farming.
As a serial Entrepreneur, I try to bring a zest for innovation, creation, and pioneering into the Hemp sphere. You always are pivoting and reinventing yourself in this industry and that's a skill I pride myself on. With Hemp, there are infinite possibilities and that to me is what motivates me every day.
