What inspired you to work in the cannabis industry?
I could write pages about this. Cannabis has been a tremendous blessing in my life that helped me become more introspective and empathetic. When I would smoke cannabis I would ask important questions regarding where I am in life and what matters which ultimately led me to decide to leave a comfortable corporate job and travel the world for three and a half years. While traveling I would meet people from every background and on many occasions, I would smoke cannabis with them and learn more about them. Not only cannabis has been a blessing in being more introspective but it also helps me to this day regarding pain to a shoulder injury I have (I can show the bump, in Germany the doctors didn’t know what it is but I haven’t had it looked at in the States). I have also seen cannabis products help people with physical ailments like that of arthritis and chronic pain ranging from cancer to physical injuries. As the son of a former major in the Army who told me he would throw me out of the house if I ever brought drugs in it, working in the cannabis industry is a bit of a surprise to not only myself but to those around me. Cannabis is my passion, I truly believe it will have a net positive effect on society when it is legal and I want my life’s work to be in this industry.
Describe a really big accomplishment:
Traveling the world is probably my biggest personal accomplishment.
What cities have you lived in?
I’ve been to hundreds of cities but the ones I have lived in for more than six months would be Dallas, Austin, Denver, Heidelberg (Germany), Berlin (Germany), Munich (Germany), Villingen-Schwenningen (Germany), and Sydney (Australia).
