• Bio - I came to Canada to design the worlds
  first indoor food factory. For the past 12 years
  I have worked enthusiastically as BC Hydros
  Agricultural Specialist. I see greenhouse
  lighting as a marketing tool, like a high
  performance formula-1 racing car but its the
  drivers skill which wins the race.
