When we say we are a family owned and family farmed business, we mean it! Our staff is compiled of three families working together to provide Maine's best quality cannabis
BA Marketing
My background as a lifelong entrepreneur brushes many industries including distribution, retail, construction, financial services and now farming. In each endeavor over the years the major things that drove to success were integrity and quality in all aspects of the business. After a short time of being a medical cannabis patient in Maine, I quickly realized there is inconsistency in products and there are no testing requirements so I had no idea if there were harmful pesticides or fungicides in the products I was purchasing. In 2016 I partnered with Gary to develop a grow operation that offered full transparency. It has always been my dream to be in a business and industry that would interest my kids. It has blossomed well beyond just my children as the majority of the staff at the GrowRoom are linked to either Gary or myself. I invite you to come and join the extended GrowRoom family and find out for yourself how quality matters.

BA in Communication 1994
MBA 2004
University of Southern Maine
For the past 17 years I have own and operated Urban Garden Center. UGC is the largest supplier of hydroponic supplies in the state of Maine. What started with one location and one employee in 2004 has grown to 5 locations with 40 employees. Along with running UGC I sit on the Board of Directors for Safe Alternatives as its VP. Safe Alternatives was the first licensed medial marijuana dispensary to open in Maine. I am also currently one of the founding partners in Upstate Gardens which is the adult use portion of Safe Alternatives. Having worked in the industry for 17 years makes me very excited to bring the next project to market the Grow Room.

It's always been a dream of mine to join the cannabis industry. It has also always been a passion of mine to help others. When i was given the opportunity to start this career, I leaped and never looked back. I love that there is always something new to learn. Dreams do come true.
Favorite strain: Granddaddy Purple
Human, dog dad, explorer.
I joined the cannabis industry after serving in the U.S. Army Reserves and working 4 years as a nurse. I have a passion for life, the outdoors, and making people laugh (Specifically poorly timed dad jokes). I can be found hiking with my dog, a 4 year old, 100lb sweetheart name Kaylee."
Favorite strain: Mac
Since graduating with a degree in agriculture I knew I wanted to work in this industry. I've been given that opportunity here at the Grow Room. I'm excited to see where this business and this industry is heading.
Favorite strain: Zkittles and Cream
I've been with the Grow Room from the very start and have learned so much about cultivating cannabis over the years. It's really cool to be able to keep learning new things as the business and industry evolves. Cannabis has always been such a huge part of my life and it's really cool that my love for it has now become my profession. I'm lucky to be able to work with the plants everyday and work with, what has now become, one big family.
If you smoked it, I probably handled it.

I went to UMO to get a degree in Botany and Horticulture with the end goal of working in the cannabis industry. Now that I work at the Grow Room full time I have the opportunity to apply what I've learned on a daily basis. One of my favorite things about this industry is that I'm still learning new things everyday. It has been fun working with amazing plants and working with awesome people. It's so great to see how far we've come as a business.
Favorite strain: Watermelon Roze
I joined the cannabis industry to try to better understand the inner workings of a beautiful plant, but found myself in a working environment surrounded by individuals who not only share the same passion, but express it in such a loving way.
Favorite strain: Gelato
After 15 years in the culinary industry, I found my true calling in helping customers find the perfect strain for their needs. If you don't see me, I'm usually fishing, hiking or hanging out with my puppy, Pippin.
Favorite Strain: Wedding Cake
I joined the cannabis industry when I met my husband. Soon after I became fascinated by his knowledge about the science of growing and cultivating. I developed my own love for the plant through his love for what he does.

When I came to the Grow Room in 2017 as a trimmer I was immediately impressed and in awe by the beauty that Jeff had built in just a few years. I knew I would quickly amass a ton of respect for him. I did everything I could to stand out and become a daily fixture at the Grow Room. Four years later I have worked my way up to head of security. Grow Room doesn't just supply marijuana, it supplies ample room for everyone to grow. I love it here!
