Profile My name is Matthew Silva and I am a 2nd generation master grower. I have been growing on a commercial scale for the past 15 years. When I was younger around the age of 18 I worked on many outdoor and greenhouse locations in Northern California, I did this for about 10 years managing cultivation and trim/ harvesting teams. Afterwards I moved to Southern California to help engineer and manage two grow locations. I was responsible for managing a team of 15 members including writing SOPs and also scheduling. I am experienced in managing teams and also even more so in Marijuana cultivation. These cultivation sites included 24 Light grow and a 150 light grow. I am experienced and can handle all qualifications and duties specifed below. I was raised in Northern California near Humbodlt where I grew up surrounded by the industry.
