I grew my first cannabis plants in 1995 in a well-worn Beacon Street apartment while attending Boston College—met my lovely wife Lanny that same year. Carried on growing and selling flowers out of various apartments all over Boston from 95-98. Eventually earned that Boston College degree in 1998, immediately putting it to work as a snowboarder, slinging hash and growing grass in Colorado-cutting baby teeth working for the Rocky Mountain News and Summit Daily News simultaneously. In 2000 we moved to Bend, Oregon where we quite literally grew our roots with a clandestine, albeit large and ballooning cannabis community of serious cultivators. Lanny and I also learned all facets of print publishing, working with a small but tenacious and dynamic crew at the alternative weekly newspaper, tsweekly.com. Inspired to create our own periodical, in 2006, we moved to the other side of the Cascade Mountains, founding Eugene Magazine, “Lane County Oregon’s Lifestyle Quarterly” with little more than a credit card. EM proudly celebrates the very best of Eugene in print and online at eugmag.com for 18 years now. Before launching Grow Magazine in 2016, I spent over two decades on the legacy cannabis scene from cultivation and sales to distribution and smuggling all over New England, Colorado, California, Oregon and internationally. Grow Magazine is the world famous “Cannabis Horticuture Quarterly” available at all 600 Barnes & Nobles locations, some Kroger Supermarkets, dispos and head shops across the USA and beyond. We work with the world’s premier creators and regular powerful contributors such as Ed Rosenthal, Robert C. Clarke, Adam Jacques, and Vanessa Salvia to bring you the latest cannabis cultivation techniques, product reviews, grower and breeder profiles, cultivar reviews and legislative cultivation news on our website growmag.com and in our beautiful print magazine. Lanny and I are currently growing our family of five in Oregon’s Willamette Valley where we run the day-to-day operations of both magazines.
