Adam Temple A Maverick Entrepreneur

Relaxed among the large pristine wilderness paintings in my studio, of the Maple Ridge - Pitt Meadows BC., landscape, Adam Temple stands tall as a maverick entrepreneur. As a young man of nineteen, possessed with a drive and tenacity beyond his years, a middle-aged couple gave him his first break into the cannabis industry, by renting him a warehouse in Abbotsford BC. Elegant, poised, patient, a creative thinker quick to harness and seek out new opportunities to evolve his business and personal skills, Adam graciously made the time to visit my studio the evening prior to his international departure to Colombia, South America, for a conference. Adam is pictured in front of my original painting titled Gold Creek.

As the CEO of Evolved Extraction Solutions Vancouver, BC., and as the Director of BC Micro License Association, Adam is broadly informed and says that he “works to lobby municipal governments in BC., to affect positive change in land-use policy for small and medium size cannabis ventures.” Due to his accumulated business experiences launching four cannabis industry ventures since 2014, Adam is a known expert on every facet of the cannabis industry. 

As a leader and influencer who inspires his team to aim high, no pun intended, Adam leads by example and invests his own capital into his ventures. As key players, Adam says that “He and his companies have developed proprietary extraction processes and equipment, cannabis growing systems, market leading extract delivery systems, developed an LP applicant company that was acquired and collaborated to develop some of the most elite brands in the dispensary marketplace.” Moreover, education is key regarding cannabis use, medical or recreational. 

With gold panning in rivers and streams a past time of the hopeful of yesteryear, the new youthful generation are literally “growing gold” legally in BC., Canada. With the benefits of medical marijuana more available to the public, it was fitting that Adam chose to stand in front of my painting Gold Creek a hiking trail I would walk in Golden Ears Provincial Park, BC., where pioneers formerly panned. Adam Temple is certainly a trailblazer for the new “Gold Rush”!
