Alex is an Industry Veteran with five years of hands-on experience working in the hemp space - from CBD to Fiber.

Alex is the founder of Hemp Hollow Processing LLC, the Director of Hemp Development at Escher Design Inc. and a Regional Leader for the US  Hemp Building Association. Serving on both the supply chain and certification committees, Alex is part of the team drafting the ASTM and ICC testing standards paving the way for mainstream implementation of hempcrete in the US construction sector. 

An entrepreneur with a keen eye for disruptive industries, Alex became intrigued with the far reaching possibilities of hemp fiber composites for the building sector.  He joined the Vermont based architecture firm, Escher Design to help develop cost effective applications using hemp bio-composites.  In 2017, the firm received national attention for building the first permitted hempcrete structure in Denver, Colorado. The building serves as proof-of-concept for hemp applications in the residential home market. We  currently have projects underway in Vermont, Denver and Missouri. 

The urgent need of the farms inspired the creation of Hemp Hollow Processing (HHP), one of the few independent companies in the northeast to offer mobile trimming and bucking services for CBD smokable flower.
