About the
guest:
Eric
is currently serving in the military as a vehicle mechanic in the
US Air Force but loves mushroom cultivation! He started cultivating
in El Paso, TX in 2015 and grew his El Paso operation to be the
largest mushroom farm in the city. Since then he sold his operation
and moved to Wichita, KS where he’s constructing a 2400 sq ft
facility. He’s been happily married for 9 years, to his wife Joana,
who handles the bag sales. They have a son, Eric Jr, who loves to
help out in the lab, and a daughter, Brooke, who was born in early
2019. He’s been growing commercially for 5 years and plans to
expand his knowledge and equipment as he gets closer to military
retirement and can grow mushrooms full-time.
