When I first started growing, I was very “green,” pun intended and I didn’t have a lot of guidance. It all started with a handful of seeds passed on from a friend and I was instantly hooked. I immediately decided not to let anything stand in my way of becoming the best grower I could be. It wasn’t just about growing my favorite plant, although that was fun, but it gave me insight into appreciation for food and farming in general. Ever since those first seeds sprouted, I have worked towards managing and/or consulting on a large scale.
Mixing nutrients, custom build outs, consulting success, and consumer appreciation are just a few of my favorite things about growing. Learning from my mistakes throughout the years and experimenting with nutrients has been an incredibly rewarding experience and I am proud to now be an accomplished professional Grower and Grow Consultant. I found that my complicated self-taught recipe I had originally concocted in my early days was a godsend to my success because I feel like I have been through every problem in the book. Agricultural minerals and salts often play a role in some of my recipes as well, but Emerald Harvest really changed the game for me. Coming from a plumbing background for over 10 years and managing a hydroponic retail store for over 3 years I’m a fan of clean irrigation systems. Emerald Harvest nutrients are completely clean for fertigation systems, reservoirs, emitters and the product will meet the highest quality and safety standards. I also utilize compost teas and organics and set extremely high standards for my end product. You won’t find a more passionate and professional grower/grow consultant, this I can guarantee.
My life has recently changed into something wonderful and I have never been more motivated and inspired to succeed in this industry. I became a father for the first time in July of 2018 and my daily and eternal “why” are now my wife and newborn son. My goal is to draw from my personal and professional experiences and life lessons to achieve success and create a legacy that my family will always be proud of. I have a zest for life and growing and am often in awe of the parallels between the two. I have learned that you reap what you sow both in life and in the garden and I’m sending my words to you in quest of a promising, professional relationship so that I may help gardens, people and your company reach its maximum potential.
