In the early 1980’s a series of dining room experiments in fungal genetics turned into a commercial oyster mushroom farm in San Diego. After 3 years of harvesting crops at 4 am I realized that I was more interested in being an Entrepreneur than Le Farmeur and thus began a lifelong sequence of startups in the life science and biotechnology space. Some went well, others just went. 45 years have passed and I am still in love with biology and science and the ingenuity required to blend them together. At night we sit in our little ranch nestled within the trembling arms of the San Andreas Fault and wonder how this all came to be.
