Played football at Furman with Aaron, but Furman doesn’t have engineering program, so I drove between both school for 2 years and ended up with 2 degrees.

Most successful professional accomplishment before cannabis: Reducing foundry scrap by over 25%, and therefore saved SKF USA over $100k per month on material waste. This lead me to win the 2015 SKF Excellence award, a global recognition within the company. This was done by implementing new SOPs and six sigma practices. This lead to much better on time delivery of final parts and helped increase moral throughout the company. 

Company Mission: To set the standard in cannabis science and ensure patients have safe access to medicine 

Company’s most successful achievement: Becoming first ISO 17025 certified cannabis lab in the world. Now currently market share leader for California compliance testing. 

Has the company raised any capital (yes or no): Yes

If so, how much?:  Not publicly 

Any plans on raising capital in the future? My team has not yet decided on this. TBD.

Most important company 5 year goal: To have multiple locations across the country, and to help establish the Federal industrial hemp (CBD) testing requirements.
