Who works for SuperCloset, Inc?

Kip-Chief Executive Officer - kip@supercloset.com
 Kip’s background includes years of horticulture design and experience. After graduating from California Polytechnic University San Luis Obispo with a degree in Industrial Technology, and after some film school in San Francisco, Kip had a great idea for a company: How do I design and manufacture the absolute best Hydroponics Cabinets in the World? He quickly began his research, and traveled all throughout Europe to seek what equipment, technology, and growing wisdom there was out there to create the ideal indoor environment for thriving plants. After much research and practice, he found that fusing several hydroponics methods into one system, you receive incredible results with a much greater chance for success. This, along with about 10 other extremely important features all grow rooms or cabinets must have, is how Supercloset was born.
Kip's and Supercloset's main purpose is to always offer the absolute best overall Superponic systems on the market that produce the best results. Along with excellent customer support and the industry's longest 3 year free warranty, it is a mission to make your growing experience blissful and bountiful.

Rory- Chief Operating Officer - rory@supercloset.com

Rory Kagan has recently joined forces with the Super Team.  Rory instantly fell in love with Supercloset after seeing the cabinets and meeting the crew at the Fort Mason Hydroponics Tradeshow in San Francisco.  He immediately went home and sent in his resume.  As fate would have it, Rory is now the proud new General Manager of Supercloset.  He is originally from New Jersey, attended Cornell University in upstate New York, and then decided to see if the grass was really greener on the other side of the fence, in California.  Well, it must have been, because almost ten years later, he has clearly laid down roots.  He still lives in San Francisco, but now with his wife, and beautiful five-year-old daughter.  Rory has committed to doing his part to help Supercloset blossom and grow to its full amazing potential.  He has a great interest in hydroponics and looks forward to expanding his knowledge of this exciting industry.  When not busy with Super Responsibilities, Rory likes to spend his time with family and friends.  Attending live shows, hiking, biking, and woodworking are some of his favorite past times.
