“Choosing between nursing and teaching was difficult for me, so in my early 20’s I taught preschool while attending a CNA course at a nearby senior center. Two decades and four children later it’s my absolute pleasure to get to be a part of Hempire-Co. where I am able to apply both caring and educating.”
Jesse Mazzella
CBD Consultant/Store Manager
Truly has been the biggest blessing to continue to educate our Industry, Hemp, and the ECS while giving people a clear path to health and wellness in our four years we have helped build all of our locations 3 of them in Alaska. I am a very outgoing funny guy with a huge heart and love for my people. I give my everything to breaking the stigmas’ while being an industry leader. I am just as passionate about Hempire-Co even outside of work, doing anything I can to be a beacon of light for the many sick people out there thinking they have no help. My number one goal is to help everyone I can, including people and pets diagnosed with cancer thinking that it’s over. I have 100% faith in God above to keep my heart on this beautiful path to the Green Revolution. #23

Travis Buckmeier
Brand Ambassador
Hello! My name is Travis Buckmeier. The Lord has blessed me in so many ways. For instance, being born and raised in Alaska has given me the greatest opportunities and ability to achieve my many dreams and goals. First and foremost; I strive to be the best husband, and father to my six children. Instilling faith and integrity into them, while always willing to learn better ways of understanding and patience myself. Secondly, if you can’t find me on the ice at a hockey rink or lake, you can usually find me in constant study of our expanding industry. I am always looking for better ways to naturally heal our loved ones and furry friends! Even when facing scrutiny and judgment, I have always been an advocate for hemp. Even when I didn’t understand the plethora of medicinal benefits it can provide. One of many goals I hope to accomplish in my time here would be participating as a driving force in our movement to lift the stigma and misinformation around cannabis. Together, if we can make the proper strides to end prohibition, we will create a path for future generations to research, study and discover all the ways we can benefit from the endless resources this plant provides.
P.S. Ask me about terpenes!
