After receiving a degree in Horticulture in 2002, I began working as an ornamental Propagation Supervisor in CT. By 2010 – I had directed 2 separate 40 acre plus ornamental nurseries and had produced/sold 10’s of millions of plants ranging across over 4000 species and cultivars. I was awarded the Young Grower of the Year by the New England Nursery Association in 2011, and was a finalist in Grower Talks Young Grower Award in 2011 as well. This led Koppert to me, and I soon transitioned from the production of plants to IPM consultation. I currently lead Koppert’s Ornamental team here in the US but primarily work as our technical lead in Cannabis. I work to coordinate all of our consultants nationwide with most major national multi-site operators and further coordinate our national efforts with Koppert’s Canadian and European Cannabis crop teams as well.
