Meet Our Team

Florida Cannabis Action Network is made up of a Board of Directors, Advisory Board, Staff and Volunteers all sharing a vision for sensible cannabis policies for people and the planet. These are the team leaders working together day-by-day to change cannabis policies in Florida and around the nation on behalf of FLCAN.

Mr. Bob Ohlwiler, Treasurer - Bob understands the harm cannabis probation is causing our society. The cost of the criminal justice system, mass forced incarceration and the lost opportunities is providing too great a burden for our state to bear.

Mr. Marshall (Tripp) Spring, Vice President - Tripp believes that as baby-boomers age, this natural medicine provides a smart alternative to expensive and often dangerous pharmaceuticals. Medical choices should be made between a person and their health care advisor, not a legislator or police officer.

Mr. David McKinney, Secretary - As an environmentalist, David recognized the impact of growing hemp on our world. From there, a preponderance of the evidence convinced him the war on drugs was a misguided policy. Today, as the parent of two teenagers, he believes that a controlled, regulated market place and helping kids achieve a strong sense of self-esteem are important parts to keeping young people off drugs.

Mrs. Cathy Jordan, President of the Board, Cathy has survived ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) for over 25 years. As a patient, Cathy benefits from the medical value of cannabis, but as Cathy realizes the greater harms associated with drug abuse and drug prohibition. She is serving as President of FLCAN, in part, to give a voice to other ALS patients.

Mr. Ken Sherman, Technnology Integrator

- As an individual who fits into no pigeon holes, Ken has been in Florida since 1969 and watched Apollo launches, was in and out of Florida Tech as a Space Sciences major, then Mechanical Engineering major. After ignoring computers in college he then proceeded to earn his living almost exclusively working with or on them. He is currently living on a 26' catamaran sailboat and concentrating on earning a living and trying to make the world a better place.
