After many years working in the service industry, Colin decided to change gears and try something new. In July of 2017 Colin began working at CO2 Dynamics in Portland, OR. There he learned the process of extracting cannabinoids using supercritical CO2.

Initially supposed to be a temporary assignment, the demand for CBD skyrocketed and a decision to stay at the farm was made in early 2018. Colin’s attention to detail and troubleshooting skills have benefited him at FSOil where he has streamlined processes in extraction and primed him to become the Lead Extractor at FSOil.
