Dennis brings a mix of hands-on experience, entrepreneurial leadership, and a passion for local food systems to his role at Local Foods Plymouth. He spent seven years building an oyster farm from the ground up, gaining expertise in sustainable aquaculture and managing sales for a collective of partner farms. This dual experience gave him a deep understanding of local food markets and how to connect producers with their communities. 
 
Afterward, Dennis moved to Amsterdam, working as an independent copywriter and marketing consultant while exploring Europe in his free time. Now back in Plymouth with his wife, Ashley, and daughter, Arlo, Dennis enjoys backpacking, canoeing, fly fishing, and reading. His unique combination of farming experience and marketing expertise fuels his work at Local Foods Plymouth, where he’s committed to connecting producers and customers and empowering local businesses.
