John Hittner Email & Phone Number

I am passionate about the environment and how we as people must preserve our natural resources to help future generations.At the age of 19, I moved to San Diego. Started working for, and soon bought, the pond care and aquatic nursery company, Fishy Business, INC. During that time, I discovered my passion for botany, practiced cultivation and developed a dream to help heal the planet. I went on to successfully establish both CM Solutions, INC and Hittner Machinery, LLC, building and developing high-pressure extraction equipment from the ground up for 7 years. I elevated these companies into relevant product categories in a very competitive market.In 2016 I became a member and owner with Leap Farms, LLC and M and B Vineyards, LLC in Southern Oregon, contributing my extraction system to the operation. There, I designed and implemented a processing facility, worked directly with state and local regulatory agencies on rezoning, met commercial kitchen requirements and maintained fire safety standards with volatile liquids and gasses; all while under budget.My experience in cultivating aquatic ecosystems, identifying and implementing innovative production techniques, business management and product development will revolutionize existing algae farming methods and capitalize on algae’s incredible growth potential like never before.

Listed skills include Environmental Awareness, Sustainability, Environmental Consulting, New Business Development, and 9 others.
