PRINCIPALS
DAVID FETTNER
For over two decades, David was one of Chicago’s premier builders, as well as a practicing zoning attorney. David combined those skill sets, along with his passion for cannabis to co-found Grow America as one of the only national Design+Build+Consulting firms to specialize exclusively in cannabis.
David’s versatility in cannabis construction is vast and unlimited, but what sets David apart is his legal experience in real estate and zoning law, which gives his clients an advantage when navigating through the numerous zoning, building and compliance codes that regulate cannabis construction.
In 2023, David was appointed to the National Cannabis Industry Association’s (NCIA) Facility Design Committee.
MIKE KAULENTIS
Mike brings decades of experience in concept, design, and branding. As the principal of numerous successful restaurants and bar concepts, Mike not only developed the concept, but he designed them to completion, creating long lasting brands in and around Chicago.
He took those tools and brought them to the cannabis industry which was lacking in both design creativity and concept. He utilizes his tools which he calls ‘DCCB’: Design, Concept, Construction, Brand. He creates the Concept, Designs the ideas and Builds them for a long lasting Brand.
Mike has worked on over 75 dispensary and consumption lounge designs across fourteen states in every scope, concept, and budget.
