Dan Huson
Dan is a seasoned and respected industry thought leader. His career has been rooted in improving ownership, integrity, and accountability - in all of his endeavors. You won’t meet a more interesting and intuitive leader with a genuine trustworthiness his team greatly admires. Previously a Journeyman Machinist for Boeing (23 years) as well as a pioneer in opening one of the first medicinal cannabis dispensaries in Oregon. His entrepreneurial mind (which does not have an off switch) eventually pivoted towards laboratory testing, analytics, and accountability toward home health and wellness. This has ultimately led to the expansion into environmental test services. He has successfully owned and operated Rose City Labs in PDX since 2012 and now embraces opening a brand new lab in Bend in 2023.
Daniel’s huge capacity for helping others is second nature in many areas of his life. He is a firm believer in the ‘you get what you give’ attitude, so it’s no wonder his successes find him expanding to new locations, all with his ego contentedly managed. Dan loves his big boy toys, the beach & the outdoors at large. He is a long-time advocate for the potential health benefits of medicinal mushrooms - in fact, you can often find him foraging the dense mossy woods of the Pacific Northwest looking for rare & delightful fruiting fungi.
