About Justin

• I grew up learning to grow and hunt my own food and live off the land as much as possible.
• Coming out of high school, I knew I was interested in sustainability, biology, and engineering.
• I earned my bachelor’s degree in biological engineering and was initially considering either going into pharmaceuticals or continuing my education.
• I heard about this new thing called vertical farming and thought it sounded interesting, so I reached out to the founder of AeroFarms for an opportunity.
• I started at AeroFarms in the research and development department where I worked on machine vision applications and data analysis.
• I eventually moved into the production facility and learned how to operate our large grow room.
• I currently work as the director of engineering design and spend my time figuring out how we create a controlled environment and systems that enable automation for large scale growing.
