GOALS, INTENTIONS, ASPIRATIONS:

I hope to travel the world, including visiting friends in Amsterdam and exploring the cannabis culture there. I intend to continue to expand my cannabis career by growing and exploring new strains.

I’d also like to more reading – these three recent books are on my list: The Miracle Factory: Illusion, Imagination, and the Invention of Los Angeles; The Water Dancer; and Homewreckers: How a Gang of Wall Street Kingpins, Hedge Fund Magnates, Crooked Banks, and Vulture Capitalists Suckered Millions Out of Their Homes and Demolished the American Dream. 

ABOUT:

I was born and raised in Ohio and moved to New York during my sophomore year in high school. I later migrated west with my family in my early 20s before going on the road and living in the woods of Arkansas where I learned and developed my creative talents as a bead artist.

Arriving in Flagstaff in 1996, I fell in love with the cafe culture, Mexican food, and the mountain highs.

Soon after that, I met my wife Sharri and we have been together for almost 23 years, and we are big Arizona Coyotes and Cardinals fans.

We have an Arizona Chihuahua Rescue dog named Max and two rescue cats, Queenie and Tigerlily.

An election day miracle happened when Proposition 203 passed in 2010! The dream of legally growing medical marijuana began. After working many years as a Medical Marijuana Caregiver, I was fortunate enough to be hired by HMH. Working for HMH has allowed me to take my passion for growing cannabis to a whole other level.

That election day miracle in 2010 shows the importance of registering to vote and voting for who and what is important to you! VOTE in 2020!

SPECIAL SKILL: 

I create intricate jewelry and sculptures from glass seed beads. 

FUN FACT: 

Having rediscovered a love of ice skating, you can often find me skating at Jay Lively Ice Rink on Wednesday and Friday nights!
