  • Mary Ann Denzer

    OWNER & CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER/GENERAL MANAGER

    Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Mary Ann has experiences in a variety of fields – including leading community development projects throughout Latin America, establishing procedures for municipal water treatment operations, performing analytical lab testing on Colorado cannabis, analyzing legal definitions and how they influence cultural development, and working in hospitality management in her hometown of Kansas City. Her passion for providing community support while working in heavily-regulated and shifting industries has prepared her to lead teams in the ever-evolving, patient-focused field of medical marijuana.

    Driven by the belief that it is the responsibility of any business to provide quality services to their community — whether it is a nonprofit, government or private entity — Mary Ann has spent her career developing systems, programs and services that allow people to both connect and care for each other.

  • Alexis (Lex) Neal

    OWNER AND SECURITY MANAGER

    Alexis (Lex) Neal is a married father of three and a local business owner. After 28 1/2 years, Lex retired from the United States Army where he achieved the rank of Colonel. While in uniform, he deployed multiple combat and operational tours to Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel and Jordan earning himself multiple Bronze Stars, Distinguished Service and Achievement Medals and the coveted Combat Infantryman’s Badge. Following his time in the Army, Lex taught JROTC at Central High School.

    A very physical, emotional and psychologically-demanding career as a Ranger in the US Army’s Infantry led Lex to seek relief through injections, prescribed narcotics, over-the-counter medications, pain meds and eventually surgery. Finally, Lex turned to medical marijuana to help manage pain and depression associated with traumatic experiences of his stressful career. Lex lives a balanced lifestyle eating healthfully, exercising regularly and enjoying all that life has to offer.
