Colle Davis, CEO – EMAIL               804-467-1536  (EST)

COLLE DAVIS is the lead inventor of Portable Farms® Aquaponics Systems’ Modular Aquaponics Systems and is CEO, PFAS LLC.

 

 

He majored in the field of Renewable Natural Resources in 1972, at the University of California at Davis, and he’s been refining Portable Farm® Aquaponics Systems for the past 45 years.

After a long career as a successful entrepreneur, businessman and consultant, Colle has always made the time to continue his research to reduce the chronic problems of tank sediment in aquaponics, and he created a new pumping system that solved all the clogging problems in the fish tank and made it possible for the system to automatically remove the sediments from the fish tank without clogging the pump to grow healthier fish and vegetables. This new system makes it possible to fully automate the farm using his own unique engineering, so that anyone, anywhere, can raise their own food.

Colle Davis’ lifelong passion has always been to reduce the impact of human activity on the earth, which inspired him to become the inventor of Portable Farms®  Aquaponics Systems.

Laurie Roberts and Lane McClelland Trusted Advisors, Certified Installation Instructor, Southern California

Lane McClelland and Laurie Roberts purchased their first Portable Farm in 2008 and installed it at the San Diego County Fair in 2009 as the central focus of their exhibit about sustainable backyard food production winning several awards as well as introducing the public to Aquaponics.  Lane’s construction experience (www.1888twigman.com), Laurie’s horticultural background and their shared enthusiasm for the Portable Farms Aquaponics Systems, led them to become professionally involved in the company over the last 4 years. Lane is the only Certified Installation Instructor and Construction Supervisor which has taken him to Botswana and Nigeria to install commercial Portable Farms® Systems. His problem solving ability, construction background, and humor are highly valued by the Portable Farms Family.

Laurie was part of the ‘back to the land movement’ in the early 70’s during which time she learned about growing food, building shelter, and artistic metal sculpting which supported her until hers. She went back to college for her BS degree in Environmental Design from Cal Poly and started her own design/build Landscape Company which specialized in native plant and drought tolerant gardens. This last decade, she developed a self-watering raised vegetable growing system called the ‘Earth Tanks’ which have been installed in 20 schools throughout the San Diego region. Most recently, she served as Project Manager, co-editor and photographer for the recently published ‘Baja California Plant Field Guide.”
