The entrepreneur has had various run-ins with law enforcement who have approached his grow operations
The firm, based in Canada, specializes in making products for medical marijuana manufacturers and cannabis growers.
At
6ft 7in and with a name that serves as a tongue-twister, he has gained
the nickname that has earned him a notorious identity.
Now
he flaunts his lifestyle that takes him across the world to various
conferences and party cities where he promotes his trade.
Even
though he has had brushes with law, with his grow houses close to being
raided, he operates a multi-million dollar empire.
Born
in Portland, Oregon he came from a lower-middle class family. But his
father died as a teenager and his mother became a drug-addict.

He wonders among marijuana plants that are big enough for him to hide in
When he was 19 he started a lawn fertilizing company as he didn't want a run-of-the-mill job.
Then,
when he was 23, two friends told him how he could make lots of money.
He started growing marijuana and honed his techniques to the point where
he has built an empire.
He
found some guys who were ex-DEA, FBI, and RCMP officers who used to run
wiretaps on people, and hired them to teach him how to sweep his homes,
vehicles, and businesses for bugs.
But it didn't stop them from staging a manhunt for him as his business grew.
He has had stints in jail, but still openly admits what his products are used for.
It
reads: 'Not only did he have a deep love and fascination for marijuana,
but he also didn’t want to live the way he saw just about everyone else
living - strangled by the ironclad grip of society’s status quo.
'He flat-out refused to take orders and march around like a good little robot.'
