Mouse has been in cannabis for seventeen years. He grew up in Houston and got into the industry because of what the plant can do medically. He has worked across cultivation, retail, operations, and consumer education.
He and Ashley worked together for five years building a multi-state cannabis operation that grew to fifty locations and hundreds of employees. When Ashley decided to open 8th Avenue, Mouse sold his equity in his current venture and walked away to join her.
He also wrote Cannabis: Clearing the Smoke — From Reefer Madness to Reality, a book that covers the history of cannabis from prohibition to where the industry stands today. It is available anywhere books are sold, and signed copies can be found inside the store.
Mouse speaks at cannabis events across the country and has been on Cannabis Talk 101, Cannabis Now, iHeart Radio, and Shade 45 XM. You will find him at the store most days.
The medical side of cannabis is what matters most to him. He has seen what the plant can do for people dealing with real health issues, and that is a big part of why 8th Avenue is set up the way it is.
