Keith Jacobsen is a Washington state local that graduated with a degree in Herbal Science from Bastyr University.

In his spare time he enjoys getting outside to take in the abundant nature of the PNW. The forest community is a beautiful one here, and despite the prevalence of invasive plants, he still respects them for their remarkable vitality and that they often are quite medicinal themselves.
