Profile bio
About Eric Steenstra
I first became interested in hemp after reading Jack Herer's book, the Emperor Wears No Clothes. Jack's passion and research inspired me to cofound hemp fashion and lifestyle brand Ecolution along with Steve DeAngelo in 1992. We created a line of 100% hemp clothing including jeans, shirts, hats and accessories made in Eastern Europe. We grew the company to over $3 million in sales. Since selling the company in 1999, I continued to do business in Hungary brokering hemp twines, cordage and textiles. I was a founding member of the Hemp Industries Association and was elected to the board of directors in the late 1990's. I served as HIA Executive Director from 2008 to 2016 and grew membership by more than 250%. I cofounded Vote Hemp in 2000 with the goal of legalizing hemp farming and now serve as the president. We achieved our primary goal of bringing back commercial hemp farming with the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill and I am currently working to ensure the implementation of the USDA Interim Final Rule works for farmers and sets a good foundation for hemp industry growth and success. With 30 years of hemp and cannabis industry experience, I also consult on cannabis business, policy and strategy. I am currently working with the Rosebud Sioux Tribe to help them develop a sustainable and profitable hemp farming program and a tribal brand. I serve as an advisor to Solvent, a cannabis and hemp fintech firm that develops compliance and payment solutions. I also am a member of Elysian Holdings, a DC based startup and Bethesda Green portfolio company working the develop compostable packaging from hemp. I am a frequent speaker at industry conferences and trusted source to the media on hemp policy and the industry, including NY Times, Forbes, CNN, Rolling Stone and the Washington Post.
Listed skills include Entrepreneurship, Marketing Strategy, Marketing, Start Ups, and 22 others.
