Our Team

Chris Francy’s first company Xoxide, Inc was acknowledged by Inc. Magazine and ranked #104 on its list of the top 500 fastest-growing companies. Francy was honored by President Obama in the White House in 2009 when he was presented with a Young Entrepreneur award during a White House ceremony from the SBA. As a result of Francy's management, Turn 5, Inc. went on to surpass a milestone of over 100 million dollars of annual sales before his exit from the business in 2012. Following his exit from e-commerce, Francy became entrenched in the fast growing cannabis industry in California. Francy co-owns and manages “OC3” and “Bud and Bloom”, two award-winning licensed recreational and medical dispensaries in Santa Ana. He also won city licenses for dispensaries in the cities of Long Beach, Bellflower, and Seaside. Through his participation in a large-scale cultivation and manufacturing operation in Los Angeles, he has experience with the full supply chain of the business. Among his other goals is a desire to build a successful cannabis product brand in California. linkedin
