American Hydroponics appoint new technology manager
"Scott fits seamlessly into our culture for he shares our vision and philosophy," said Christian. "His extensive knowledge and hands-on experience as a professional grower in controlled environments is rare. He combines that with a passion for growing plants, a great sense of humour, and an authentic inclination to help others. We now have an even broader range of skills to further strengthen our capacity to serve the grower community."
Kornberg joins the company after more than 30 years in the industry. His recent responsibilities were Greenhouse Manager and Director of Operations of The Sun Valley Group, one of the largest cut flower growers in the United States.
"I look forward to helping people take food production back into the communities where they live," said Kornberg. "I want to see crop production spread all over the country and help infuse fresh food into areas where it is now unavailable. After 24 years in the flower business, I want to use my expertise to give something back to the community."
A graduate of California Polytechnic State University at Pomona, Kornberg earned his degree in Horticulture with a minor in Agricultural Biology. He also studied botany and agriculture at Humboldt State University.
