Hello everyone, my name is Clay Gerling and I am originally from Las Vegas, Nevada. I currently live in Winnemucca, Nevada, a small town north of Reno. It is so cold here I don't think I'll ever get used to it after growing up in the nearly uninhabitable Southern Nevada Desert.
I am working towards my horticulture degree with the goal of working in the legal cannabis industry. I previously ran a small business growing aeroponic herbs and veggies and selling them to restaurants in Las Vegas. After the initial COVID lockdown in 2020, we had to close shop and sell our house. Around that time my wife and I had our first baby, a boy we named Dean, after my father. Since then my wife has completed her Social Work Masters Degree and is starting her clinical internship hours. I am so proud of her and am so happy to be a new dad! (Although I do miss sleep).
Most of my online communication happens at work, although I will admit I have a bit of a Reddit and YouTube addiction. We use an app called Group Me for all of our professional communication, and it can sometimes be a challenge to communicate effectively with people several states away, but I am hoping this class will give me some good knowledge and perspective on how to be an effective communicator in the online arena.
To wrap this up, here is a picture of my son and I on a hike this past summer. Can't wait for the winter to be over! Good luck this quarter everyone!
