My personal journey with cannabis began 18 years ago, using it for PTSD management. This became more than a personal choice when its therapeutic benefits helped my mother with skin cancer, solidifying my belief in cannabis's medicinal value. I entered the cannabis industry in 2013, aiming to change public perception amidst widespread stigma.Since 2016, I've played a crucial role in building and consulting cannabis brands, aiding clients to achieve multimillion-dollar sales. My success story includes helping a client grow from zero to $2.9 million in sales. This wasn't just about selling products; it involved building a brand, product development, consumer education, and reshaping the narrative around cannabis. By addressing customer hesitations and using my experiences, I helped shift consumer skepticism to curiosity and acceptance, contributing to the destigmatization of cannabis.In a bold move to embody the spirit of adventure, in 2016 my wife and I sold everything we owned in North Carolina, condensing our lives into a suitcase to embark on a unique journey as the first cannabis digital nomads. This adventurous chapter of our lives has been enriched by living in Costa Rica and Mexico for 6.5 years, where I've not only embraced diverse cultures but also broadened my perspective and influence in the global cannabis market.Driving business revenue in the cannabis industry is my specialty. I leverage creative data driven sales and marketing to transform insights into profit. In this unique sector, my consulting, branding, sales, marketing, web design, social media, and automated strategies go beyond aesthetics, tackling online censorship challenges to build meaningful connections and foster growth.My journey is more than professional; it's a high performance personal narrative of retail & wholesale market transformation and changing public opinion, fueled by my conviction in cannabis's power and my ability to turn vision into substantial growth for my clients.
