About Me
Hi, I’m Dani Walton, a seasoned cannabis professional and advocate based in the Bay Area. My career began with a passion for the plant and its transformative potential, and over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to championing its benefits and fostering growth in the industry.
During my 11 years with Harborside, I had the privilege of traveling the world, advocating for cannabis reform and education. From managing large-scale wholesale operations to launching new products and brands, my experience has spanned the entire cannabis ecosystem.
Today, as the co-founder of NXTLVL and operator of Agris Farms, I’m focused on shaping the future of cannabis through sustainable practices, innovative products, and a commitment to community building.
When I’m not immersed in the cannabis world, you can find me exploring new frontiers in plant science, engaging with the latest industry trends, or collaborating with like-minded entrepreneurs.
Let’s connect and build something extraordinary together!
