Chris Piazza has been in the cannabis industry since 2008. He began as a glass blower, selling his pipes at head shops and concerts in Colorado.  In 2011 he moved back home to Illinois, continued to blow glass, and then started a glass school and a studio of local artists. In 2018 Chris was presented an opportunity to partner with Robert Bank to start a glass distribution company, and CannaDevices began.  Since the inception, Chris has managed the growth of this new company, which services many of the largest dispensaries in the US, all while staying true to his roots in sourcing glass from artists throughout the country, creating consistent work and income for them and their families.  In addition to his position of Founder/CEO for CannaDevices, Chris is a founding member and Chairman of the non-profit Startup Syndicate, created to help new entrepreneurs get access to tools and capital for their businesses.  Chris has a high threshold for excellence and a natural ability to connect humbly with the people he serves.  He is highly regarded by our community and family.
