The story is pretty simple really.
I did industrial/mechanical, I didn't work on toilets FYI. I did large mechanical projects for companies like Budweiser, Tyson foods and major Hospitals.
When 9-11 happened, I was motivated to join the military. So I left my nice comfortable job as a mechanical project manager and joined the Army. I operated with the secret squirrels during OIF1 and ran combat missions rounding up Saddam loyalists. In OIF3, I was deployed with a Brigade HQ unit. I was the combat driver for the 1BCT S4's OIC with a top secret clearance. This is when I got into penny stocks.
I spent 12 hours a day, 6 days a week in the Camp Taji TOC. A few guys were trading penny stocks and they got me into it. Having been an avid blogger, I quickly gained popularity on Ihub. My original alias was one of the top 20 "liked" posters. I basically sat in the TOC with the S-2 guys (intelligence group) and we traded promoted stocks. The S-2 guys taught me about how penny stock promotions worked. I took that knowlege with me after I left the Army and I monetized my popularity on Ihub.
After working in the industry for 5 years, I learned a lot. I read everything I could get my hands on. I learned from the back end how the OTC worked. With every client I learned something new. While working with SIAF, I learned a ton of stuff about the SEC and the registration process.
I'm basically just self taught with a drive to learn. I was able to start Indoor Harvest because my life experiences combined allowed me to. I made a decent amount of money working with SIAF. I learned about SEC stuff and the OTC and I had experience in logistics (Army S-4) and mechanical build.
I saw an opportunity to apply my skills and started Indoor Harvest in late 2011 with the intent to take it public. I also have been a huge supporter of crowd funding. And in 2013 I finally filed with the SEC and took the Company public.
It does add up. You've just made up your mind about what kind of person I am without having any knowledge of who I am, what I've done or what I've accomplished.
Indoor Harvest started in my garage in late 2011 and today my designs are being used at MIT in Boston and at the largest Cannabis producer in North America. We're even putting together a massive public/private partnership in Pasadena Texas.
Like I said, if you'd get over your "I hate all penny stock CEO's" attitude, you might find we have way more in common than not.
Cheers!
