Work History

Manager of Sales and Production

It's too long of a story, but I can sum it up. My wonderful girlfriend of the last five years was diagnosed with a chronic spine disease (ankylosing spondylitis). After suffering in chronic pain for a few years she discovered the medicinal benefits from cannabis. Seeing the miraculous benefits she gets from it firsthand has made her and I proud supporters of cannabis. Leading her to work for a premium hemp dispensary. After I got back from my deployment in 2024, my girlfriend's job needed a reliable worker, so I began working with them, and we all have mutually benefited from it since.
