RollPros

Bridging the gap between innovative cannabis companies and automated pre-roll technology.

My passion for motorsports taught me that precision and performance matter – principles I bring to cannabis market development at RollPros. When I'm not at industry events or connecting with cannabis leaders, you'll find me at the track or exploring ways to optimize health and recovery.

At RollPros, I help cannabis manufacturers discover how our Blackbird pre-roll machine transforms production efficiency. Nothing beats seeing a client's face when they realize what's possible with the right automation.

Curious about elevating your pre-roll game? 

Let's connect at the next cannabis expo or hop on a call to explore how the Blackbird can revolutionize your operation.

Creating innovative and unique automation solutions for the cannabis industry

Founder

Created some pretty awesome concepts that will likely blow peoples minds, in three to four years.

Lead Technical Architect

Working alongside some of the most talented and ambitious people in the business, I lead a fearless team of engineers and technicians to design/develop/manufacture some of the coolest electromechanical and optomechanical products you've ever heard of.

Published technical reports and protocols documenting design testing and verification. 
Successfully launched 2 innovative and life saving product systems into the field. 
Researched competitive markets and designed creative marketing demos and strategies.

Farm Hand

Creating exciting new solutions to complex problems has been a staple of Kyle's career, and now it is his platform to disrupt markets and change the world.  

It began at a startup medical device company (Acute Innovations) where he created the first purposefully collapsible and conformable bone fixation implant to give surgeons the flexibility they needed during surgery and uneventful outcomes that kept patients comfortable and have shorter hospital stays.

It moved to the automation and product design world as a consultant where he was able to help companies to the likes of but not limited to:  Hewlett Packard portable printers - designed/implemented the quietest paper pick system to be seen within that department, Georgia Pacific - designed a very unique and sanitary method to dispense cutlery, then his work at Oculus - creating hardware designs for optics that won the awe and inspiration of some of the biggest names in the tech world (definitely a highlight, but can't say too much about it.)  

Kyle turned his sights to passion and focused on an emerging market that is ripe for innovation and desperate for automation.  Cannabis had always been a creative catalyst for him, and being a hands-on engineer the classic "joint" was a preferred method and allowed him to hone a craft or almost ritual to his occasional usage.  Once he discovered the inconsistency and quality issues of conventional "cone stuffing" for creating pre-rolls, the target was set in his scopes and we were off to creating RollPros. 

The RollPros Blackbird Rolling center is a revolutionary piece of automation equipment born in the cannabis industry that utilizes TruRoll technology to create a truly unique and quality preroll at a clip of 750+ per hour.   Unlike traditional cone stuffers, the Blackbird rolls a charge of precision weighed cannabis at a tension that is adjustable on-the-fly by the operator.  It uses truly raw materials that are ethically sourced and create a huge reduction (80%) in COGs for the customer.  The Blackbird puts the customer back in control of their product and gives them the freedom to create new unique products.
