The passion for plants and the science behind hydroponics began early for Dan around 1997. When on hikes with the family he would take cuttings of plants and root them on the window sill. In 2001 he began growing cannabis and quickly moved on to designing and building advanced automated hydroponics systems and mastering the art. Dan has designed and built hundreds of growing facilities as well as grown thousands of plants himself and spent countless hours in both the grow room and consulting. He owns 4Trees Cannabis Building Ltd., a company that designs and constructs growing facilities for both ACMPR as well as recreational (micro-cultivation, LPs). He is proud to be shaping Canada's cannabis industry.
