Leadership

Jackson – CEO

Jackson received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maine at Orono. A professional background as a mechanical design engineer developing industrial automation provided the opportunity to learn the skills required to bring projects from concept to completion. This experience also exposed Mr. McLeod to the world of Lean Manufacturing, minimizing waste of any manufacturing process without affecting productivity. In addition to Mr. McLeod’s engineering experience, he co-founded Fluid Farms, an organic produce company focused on greenhouse production. This experience developed the skill sets needed to upstart a small-scale produce company and successfully manage greenhouse production while maintaining food safety as the number one priority. In the process of building Fluid Farms Mr. McLeod raised nine thousand dollars through a Kickstarter project and one hundred-thousand dollars in several equity deals. The experience gained over 6 six years of growing and running an agriculture business is invaluable. Lastly, Mr McLeod has been a registered caregiver under Maine’s Medical Marijuana program since 2011. This experience exposed Mr. McLeod to the horticultural skill sets needed to successfully manage indoor, outdoor and greenhouse cannabis production. Additionally Mr. McLeod constructed and operated light-deprivation greenhouses for the 2017 grow season, doubling seasonal production and his horticulture knowledge base.
