OWNER:
I was born and raised in Tacoma, Wa. As a teenager I owned a small hemp store next to a local college. In 1996 I moved to Alaska and started a career as longliner in the commercial fishing industry. Changes in the laws and the start of IFQ's forced me out of the industry as I only had one year experience and there was very few jobs. I moved to Anchorage and started cooking and waiting tables to get by. Across the street from me a political outfit called "Free HEMP in Alaska" had started up and I joined up a lackey who did odd jobs and fixing things. I soon quit my job and moved into the building and dedicated my life to legalization. By 2003 I was running the signature drive for the second campaign and gathered more valid signatures for a marijuana initiative than any other initiative drive in Alaska history. After we lost the second attempt at legalization I took a 2 year contract to help Oregon on a medical marijuana drive and to open a patient run medical co-op in Portland. It was here I became a published professional grow consultant. I left that entity alive and successful and moved back to Alaska to start another legalization campaign. When a professional organization started an initiative I quickly learned how fast things were evolving and the grass roots activists like myself were no longer needed so I decided to go back to my dream of a shop owner and I took the $10,000 I had saved up and opened the smallest Smoke Shop in Alaska.
