Keith Roberto
Chief Formulator
Hydroponics Godfather, Author, Cannabis Industry Veteran
With the first publication of How to Hydroponics in 1994, Keith Roberto cemented his place in the history of the cannabis hydroponics and cultivation industry. With the success of his book, Keith found himself at the epicenter of product, method and cultivar discussions which inspired his New York retail location known as Future Garden. Alongside the storefront, Keith developed refined nutrient formulas specific to the cannabis industry. Over three decades later, Keith leads the formulation team at Organitek bringing his intimate knowledge of chemistry, methods and years of real-world experience to the table.
Jeff Funk
Lead Cultivator, Farm Relations & Sales
Cannabis Industry Veteran, Farm Founder
From hobbyist to farm owner, Jeff has been involved in all aspects of this industry for nearly twenty five years. He offers his real-world experience, dealing with everything from changing cultivars, modalities, and those unexpected challenges, on top of the shifting culture, as a resource for growers and managers alike. It is this experience that represents Organitek’s approach to the industry: We want you to succeed and we are here to help. It’s not the product hype that gets the job done. Quality inputs paired with the experience and knowledge garnered over decades is the answer.
Wendy Bloxsom
Office Manager and AP
Elk Herder Extraordinaire
On the front lines of communication, Wendy ensures all aspects of Organitek are synchronized. With a background in business management and bookkeeping, paired with the ability to trek Elk in the wilderness, Wendy knows how to make things happen while keeping the water smooth for efficient sailing. When not behind the computer or trekking elk, she might be found mushroom hunting with her pot-belly pig Rupert, spoiling her chickens or walking with her Blue Heeler Wally close to Townsend, Montana.
Linsi “Piña” Booth
Microbe Mamma and Production Manager
Cannabis Industry Veteran, Farm Owner, Microbial Specialist
Herding cats is one thing, herding microbes is another. Linsi, known to us as Piña, watches over the microbes while also monitoring the quality production process for all mineral nutrients. With nearly thirty years of global industry experience, Piña understands the importance of quality control and attention to the most minute, and microscopic, details. When not behind a scope or acting as the Ranch Chicken Tender (producing gourmet meals for our ladies), she can be found helping other farmers find their way through the hidden secrets of the rhizosphere.
Robert Hising
Online Strategy
Robert overseas the website and online presence for Organitek. If he’s not at his desk hacking away at the computer, you may find him in the kitchen cooking up some magic or touring the globe. If you don’t find him at all, he will definitely be out in nature trekking Green Unicorns.
Christian Souza
Production Team
The front line of our production team is all about attention to detail. It’s how we ensure you get exactly what you need, in every batch. Christian leads the crew to ensure our ‘Plumas County Proud’ Production meets the quality you always expect. When not on our front line, he may be found refining his protein-rich culinary skills throughout The Lost Sierra.
Dan “O” Guerrette
Facilities Manager
With nearly sixty years of job-site engineering, Dan-O makes sure all systems are a “go” on the Organitek site. When not entertaining us on the ranch, Dan-O, (aka The Rainbow Man), can be found with brush and paints in hand, performing at and bringing joy to music festivals throughout the region.
