Alfred Hermiz

Alfred Hermiz is one of the industry leaders in both Cannabis Cultivation and Oleoresin “Concentrate” Extraction. He is one of many working to progress medical and recreational cannabis knowledge, legislation, and sound business practices within the US and internationally. With a deep understanding of plant science and industry knowledge Alfred is helping move the cultivation and processing of cannabis into larger scalable facilities with the highest level of standards in all areas including regulatory, health, safe & sustainable horticultural practices, advanced extraction & lab processes, and overall product quality control. In late 2014 Alfred founded his company Endo Farms Consulting, LLC and since he has designed over 20 cultivation facilities, provided clients with full operational SOP’s for cultivation, genetic development & preservation (tissue culture), and extraction/infusion processing. Profoundly driven Alfred has always been dedicated to his clients, partners, employees, and even more to understanding the cannabis plant and creating its ideal environment.

Alfred is a common speaker at cannabis expos and trade shows regarding cultivation and intelligent building design. He received multiple degrees from Arizona State University where he was awarded a MBA in Finance, a B.S. in Global Finance, and a B.A. in Psychology. Currently Alfred is working on finishing a degree certificate in Sustainable Agriculture and Greenhouse/Nursery Management. During his college years Alfred truly fell in love with cannabis cultivation and began broadening his studies into big agriculture and commercial cultivation applications, as well as dabbling into cannabis extractions. Expanding on that passion is what lead Mr. Hermiz further into the rabbit hole of the regulated cannabis industry which is where his heart and career passions now lie. Cultivating cannabis since the start of the industry provided many challenges and insights to the growth and trends in all areas of the cannabis industry: from cultivation to extraction, development of branded products, IP & licensing opportunities, and the retail/dispensary experience.

Thru working with different types of cannabis companies, from publicly traded to startup operations, Alfred understands the important tasks in starting and running regulated cannabis businesses. He also works towards setting a new standard in designing cannabis cultivations specializing in state of the art, highly efficient, cultivation & extraction/infusion processing facilities. While performing the role of Director of Cultivation & Design for AZ state licensed cultivation sites Alfred had dozens of employees under his direction. Alfred is well versed in the complexities of state regulated seed-to-sale software and the intricacies in managing a production site within a highly regulated industry. His dedication to operating within high standards allows his production sites to not only achieve an unsurpassed level of intelligent design, maximized efficiencies, and work safety conditions, but it also provides the attention to detail and mindfulness to produce the highest quality of “craft” cannabis products.

Alfred plans on continuing to further the science and efficiency of commercial cannabis cultivation & extraction sites thru engaging peers and those at the top of their respected fields in the cannabis industry. His ultimate goal is to be a leader in the budding cannabis industry and will continue to work, progressing towards that goal.
