Damian has had a successful career during his 16+ years in the greenhouse and controlled environment growing industry. Having graduated in 1998 from The University of Arizona’s College of Agriculture with a degree in Plant Sciences and Crop Production, he has worked with some of North America’s largest high technology greenhouse operations.

He has a competent and extensive knowledge of plant nutrition, irrigation/fertilization, crop physiology, pest & disease management, crop growth management, labor efficiency, and agri-business. He has also worked for a global vegetable seed company, where he learned many aspects of plant genetics and breeding, as well as seed production, sales, and marketing. Damian has often been asked to participate in industry panel discussion groups and has lectured in university sponsored workshops on such topics as crop registration, crop growth management, proper climate strategies, and integrated pest management. He has a very positive reputation in the greenhouse industry as an expert in the field of high density, high output controlled environment crop systems.
Beginning in early 2014, Damian has been involved in the cannabis industry as a technical consultant offering agronomic services to his clients. He has worked with several of Canada’s largest cultivation facilities, as well as some recreational facilities in Colorado. During this time he has been able to build a strong network of cannabis growers, consultants, manufacturers and suppliers within the industry. Damian is progressively minded, and has a passion for what he does. He likes to blend the art of growing with technology to optimize the results of the entire operation. Being bilingual, Damian is able to conduct business in both English and Spanish.
