Collin’s journey in the agricultural industry is a story of unwavering perseverance and exceptional drive. His roots are firmly planted in Southern Ontario, where he grew up on a quaint thoroughbred horse farm, just an hour’s journey from Toronto. This early exposure to farm life instilled in him a deep appreciation for agriculture.

Collin’s academic path led him to York University, where he graduated in 2012. With a degree in hand, he embarked on a bold move to Lethbridge, Alberta, marking the beginning of his professional journey in the agricultural sector. His career commenced with Cargill, where he served as a Farm Marketing Representative, a role that laid the foundation for his future endeavors.

In 2015, Collin’s career trajectory took a new turn as he joined BASF. Here, he was responsible for sales and support of their agricultural chemical and inoculant product lines. This experience further honed his skills and deepened his industry knowledge.

After five years in chemical sales, Collin embraced a new challenge with Chinook Treaters. This role saw him traversing Alberta and Saskatchewan, providing vital on-farm seed treating and inoculating services to farmers, further diversifying his expertise.

The culmination of Collin’s journey in agriculture is the establishment of his own venture, Double C Agco. Through this company, he offers innovative hybrid canola and corn seed solutions to his growers, demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to the industry.
