I grew up working on my grandpas pecan and pistachio farms in Arizona and then moved to central Washington where I worked on my cousins dairy and ranch, Royal Family Farming. They then patterned with Grow in late 2023 and I was able to get in on the ground level. From there I took great interest in Grow and the blockchain technology. Since then I have worked to build utility for the Grow blockchain and educate others as well. I have a passion for farming and blockchain and they merge together beautifully.
