Dr. Dan Price, MD trained in emergency medicine at the University of California Davis and did a fellowship in air medical transport and trauma at Oregon Health & Science University. He worked as an academic physician at AHS Highland Hospital & Trauma Center in Oakland for 14 years and has authored over 40 scholarly publications.

Dr Price's work focused on the use of portable ultrasound in emergencies and in under-resourced settings in Africa, Latin America and Asia. He also helped found Mobile Medical Media LLC which developed medical education resources for mobile devices.

Dr Price's interest in medical cannabis arose from his own experience with back pain and from seeing patients in the ER who could’ve been safely helped by medical cannabis but instead were only prescribed pharmaceutical medications often with limited efficacy and potentially severe side effects. He helped pioneer “house call” and telemedicine cannabis consultations with MeadowMD in San Francisco where he has treated over 15,000 patients.

He recently joined Tikun Olam as Medical Director to help advance the science of medical cannabis.

Roger Obando is a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in software development, advisory and consulting in both the enterprise and start-up world.  His most recent venture Baker Technologies, a software platform focused exclusively on helping companies in the cannabis industry build and retain relationships with their customers, was merged into TILT Holdings in late 2018 in a large scale, multi-national merger/acquisition deal, leading to his successful exit.

Prior to this, Roger spent years working with large established interactive agencies, including almost a decade working with companies including Sony, BMW, JP Morgan and Disney. He made the decision in early 2004 to enter the product space, consulting with start-up companies, transitioning to senior technology positions at Mobile Roadie and later founding Kamino Labs.  He has degrees In Computer Science and Visual Design from Duke University. 

Since his successful exit from Baker Technologies, Roger has leveraged his platform to launch a social initiative, that seeks to align persons of color, like himself, to represent and help disproportionately affected communities benefit from the green rush that is cannabis legalization.  His first endeavor in this initiative was to publish The Highest Common Denominator: Elevating Your Base Self (November 2019).  In his first book, Roger speaks to the issues present on both sides of the fence of the Social Equity debate - from his roots as a recipient of such programs, to today, when he is working to represent programs for the underserved.  Roger believes that an honest and actionable conversation about how all parties can help move the needle towards equality of opportunity is crucial in catalyzing change.
