Glen Mayes II has worked with youth in some capacity for over 15 years. Beginning as a corrections officer, then supervisor in Juvenile Corrections, Glen was moved toward preventative intervention work after running for Austin ISD School Board in 2010.

Glen achieved his Sundara Yoga Therapy Instructor certification (RYT 200) and Trauma Informed Yoga therapist certification, this knowledge assisted his incoming challenges.

Yoga is one platform in which Glen has led youth programs, including teaching classes at private and charter schools.

He has lead numerous sports-affiliated after school programs, including co-founding H.A.L.O an elite after-school sports and leadership program, Wooldridge Elementary Soccer Stars, Fulmore ACE after school program, and is an experiential-based learning expert.

Glen was nominated for Austin Under 40 (AU40) three times and was a finalist in his last appearance in the category of Youth and Education and has relocated to Colorado.

Texas native, Glen Mayes has worn many hats, but the one that led him into the marijuana industry is: father.

Glen’s nine year-old son Orion was diagnosed with a neurological disorder at 2 months old.

Glen was certified by the state of Texas to administer pharmaceuticals as a supervisor in a correctional facility for ten years in Taylor and Travis county.

That knowledge base motivated his search for a safer medication for his son and lead him to be a caregiver for five other Colorado Medical Marijuana patients.

During his time in Colorado, Glen has worked in the marijuana industry with companies such as The Clear and most recently, as President and CEO of a hemp processing company Verified Texas Hemp. He is bringing his knowledge gained back home to ensure quality products from genetics to post harvest.
