Founder/Principal Consultant
Golden Ocean Solutions was founded by Mike Bruno who is a 18 year veteran of the cannabis industry. Prior to beginning his cannabis journey, Mike received a B.A. in environmental science from Northern Arizona University. Shortly after he completed the Sound, Voice and Music Healing program at California Institute of Integral Studies. These two educational endeavors, along with Mike’s extensive industry experience, have allowed him to develop this unique brand of integrative cannabis consulting. As a legacy operator and Cultivation Director in Sonoma County, and Co-owner and COO at Ocean Gold Farms, Mike has multiple levels of experience working in cannabis operations and running a California based business in the most competitive marketplace in the world. Over the last 18 years, Mike has worked with hundreds of different cultivars which has allowed him to form an intimate relationship with the plant and her biology. Throughout this timeline Mike has utilized many different cultivation methods. Early on he worked in hydroponics before learning to love both soil and soil-less mediums. As a commercial indoor cultivator Mike has designed facilities ranging from 5,000 to 25,000 sq ft, utilizing many different lighting, climate and irrigation systems. Most recently, Mike co-owned and operated Ocean Gold Farms, a licensed and environmentally crafted cannabis farm located in Mendocino County, CA. It is here he developed a deep understanding of living soil and the science of organic farming in a greenhouse under the sun. As the founder and principal consultant at Golden Ocean Solutions Mike’s main goal is to make his clients successful. Wether this takes on the form of designing a new facility, or helping an existing business improve and optimize its current operations, Mike is there with the experience to diagnose problems and implement solutions. Combined we have saved our clients millions by avoiding costly buildout mistakes, streamlined operations, increased yields by an average of 30%, and improved quality to make sure they are the stand out producers in their region. Golden Ocean Solutions integrates proprietary cannabis operating procedures and facility design that have been in development for nearly 2 decades, with trusted strategic business advisement associated with current market trends and future growth dynamics. Along with Mike, we have a team of talented advisors and sub-contractors to help support your growth in today’s evolving market.
