Who do you think you are?
The Good Lab is owned and operated by husband-and-wife medical marijuana advocates Teri Robnett and Greg Duran. Beyond their years of experience in cannabis policy and education, their backgrounds make them more than qualified to get a testing lab established and running smoothly.
Greg Duran
When it comes to keeping high-tech equipment running smoothly, Greg Duran definitely has the qualifications and expertise.
A Colorado native, Greg spent 20 years in the Air Force working on complex electronics systems on C-130 cargo planes. His duties invloved installation, modification, maintenance, repair and training in the use of radar, passive monitoring, communication, navigation and electronic warfare systems. He trained numerous reservists and active duty airmen on proper procedure, safety, and troubleshooting.
As a Research and Development Technician in spectroscopy (using light to identify chemical components), Greg worked with scientists and engineers on design and manufacturability of scientific instruments for corporations, universities and research facilities around the globe, including developing patented processes for calibration. Industry applications for these spectrometers included paper, meat, dairy, forestry, mining, pharmaceutical and others. He developed innovative troubleshooting systems for finished products and individual components. Greg has been fully trained in CE and UL certification as well as lean manufacturing.
Moving on, Greg wrote and refined processes and procedures for a company that develops controls for the greenhouse industry. He worked with the engineers and technical staff to resolve reliability issues and develop innovative solutions for quality control. Coordinating with inspectors, he ensured that products met and maintained the strict requirements of UL certification.
Greg’s attention to detail, understanding of quality control, technical expertise and commitment to excellence made for a smooth transition to operating a testing lab. His daily diligence in keeping equipment calibrated and running smoothly is what enables The Good Lab to achieve reliable and accurate results.
