After having spent nearly 30 years in the Oil and Gas Industry, I left corporate America and fulfilled a life-long passion and began working in the cannabis industry. After a couple of consulting gigs, in 2017 I became the Director of Emerging Channels at Cannabis Kitchen Supplies, in Boulder, CO. In 2021, Rocky Mountain Reagents (RMR) acquired the Cannabis Kitchen Supplies brand, where I became the Chief Brand Officer (CBO). In April of 2023, RMR merged its two brands, Cannabis Kitchen Supplies and 710 Spirits,into a new brand, 710SCI, of which I continue to serve as CBO. The new brand expanded its scope to serve the Cannabis and Psychedelics industries. Since 2015, I've gained extensive knowledge and built strong relationships with Cannabis and Psychedelic industry leaders, and readily share these learnings and relationships with clients and other professionals in the industry. Utilizing deep business acumen, particularly around supply chain and vendor management, I advocate for client needs. In addition to optimizing client supply chains (using Total Cost of Ownership principles), I help companies implement sustainable business practices and develop business strategies to improve performance and enhance resiliency.
