Educated with a Master’s degree, he has worked in roles of sales, development, and distribution of nutrients and hydroponic equipment in Europe. He has phenohunted over 50,000 seeds, spent over 10 years growing high-quality craft indoor flower, and attended over 40 competitions globally.

In Southern Spain, he has made over a million feminised and regular seeds and provided white label services to multiple seed brands.

Currently, he spends his time providing a framework for licensed producers to source and develop their own unique cultivars through high-quality breeding stock, whilst supporting their production needs of high THC and yield metrics. This has resulted in a unique customized offering of genetics within the Canadian space to large-scale and micro-producers.
