Katrina Smith

Katrina has an A.S. from Chattanooga State and is mere hours shy of a B.I.S. in Scientific Research and Writing from UTC. At Grass Roots, she oscillates between Research Director and Chief Problem Wrangler - answering questions and finding solutions for customers, co-workers, and the business at large. She places acquiring knowledge first, personally and professionally. When not at work, she and her husband enjoy adventure-tour motorcycling and competitive defense pistol shooting. She finds a combination cbdMD bath bombs and their roll-on muscle freeze invaluable for soothing sore thighs and shooter's elbow.

Russo Green

Howdy, Russo here! I'm an employee here at Grassroots but I'm also a a customer. I played rugby for 4 1/2 years and my body had taken a lot of injuries over the years. I found CBD products during that time that help relinquish my body from constant pain. I was lucky enough to continue being active after putting my cleats up with the help of CBD. For anyone that suffers from mental health set backs I understand. I deal with tinnitus, hypersensitive senses, and social anxiety. With some aid from CBD products I started seeing healthy changes in my overstimulation and social anxiety. I was able to think more clearly and have reduced stress with the aid of some hemp products. Now I find myself happily helping customers find products that help them find relief too. If you find yourself in the store feel free to ask for help, I'd be happy to do so!

Trey Acklin

Trey is a native of Huntsville, Alabama where he spent most of his time involved in music and stage performance. Over the past few years, he became an advocate for alternative medicine. Most notably the benefits of CBD tincture and flower. Being a chef as well, this intrigue has also led to several delicious explorations. His focus is to bridge the information gap between the novice and the expert; in terms of using the plant itself. With that said, his favorite product is undoubtedly flower. From the bright and citrus tones of Lemon AK and Tangie, to the beautiful earthy notes of Bubba Kush and Honolulu Haze. If it's hemp help you're looking for, he's definitely there to assist you. Accompanied by his favorite tinctures, bath bombs, and topicals; his recipe for the "entourage effect" will envelope you in total relaxation.
