Chad Farnsworth has had a passion for pets as long as he can remember. He is always expanding his knowledge on everything to do with his passion. After completing his Business Degree at Johnson & Wales University, Denver Campus, he moved home to Grand Junction, CO, looking for ways to both use his degree and his experience in the Pet Industry. He was soon disappointed to find the lack of quality aquatic stores in comparison to what he was accustomed to on the in the Denver Metro area. After a few discussions with family and Kristin his disappointment turned into excitement as the opportunity unfolded in front of them. This opportunity would not only give hope for aquaculture to his home town but to help further the sustainability of the hobby as a whole.
