He spent a career as an Armor and Cavalry officer and service as a military diplomat in six European countries (Germany, Belgium, France, Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia).

He is the CEO of Harvest 360, a full-service cannabis consulting company responsible for winning dozens of licenses across the country.

Todd is an activist, currently serving on the advisory board of the Kansas Cannabis Coalition and the Veterans Action Council, and previously on the Missouri Cannabis Trade Association. He is also an adjunct professor at Saint Louis University in their Cannabis Science and Policy Program.

We talk about the power of building partnerships to effect real change and grow an effective business as well as the life-changing effects medical cannabis can have in people's lives.
