Matthew Glyer
Founder & CEO, Hemp Press
A longtime hemp enthusiast, Matthew began teaching hemp fiber workshops in 2012 as a way to share his knowledge and catalyze discussion around the virtues, benefits, and vast uses of Cannabis Sativa. Living in Oregon, surrounded by both the majestic old growth trees as well as the logging industry, Matthew recognized the need for an alternative and sustainable paper fiber source, especially in serving the rising demand of the fastest growing industry in the country: Cannabis. His grassroots approach to a hemp-based business is to energize a consumer base toward using everyday hemp fiber goods giving further incentive to domestic farmers to grow industrial hemp and factories to process that hemp. With a focus on hemp paper goods and printing services as well as product and packaging innovation, Matthew’s goal is to restore a sustainable domestic hemp economy that provides meaningful industrial, agricultural and manufacturing jobs to American families.
