Sam Burney Director of Partnerships of Kentucky Heritage Hemp

SAM BURNEY

Sam Burney is an entrepreneurial minded individual with a knack for networking and a deep-rooted passion for making cannabinoids more accessible to the world. 

A few months after graduating with a degree in Business with an Entrepreneurship concentration, Sam opened his first business, a cable wakeboarding park and water-sports complex. Torn between a love for wakeboarding and a drive to enter the cannabis industry, Sam decided to launch his second business venture, Point 3 Group, a commercial greenhouse specializing in mass production of hemp clones and hemp smokable grade flower. 

After running both companies for several years, he eventually sold the cable wakeboarding business, so his efforts could be focused on what he was truly passionate about, cannabis. 

Several years into weathering the volatile conditions of the hemp market in its early years, Point 3 Group partnered with Royale Botanicals, a larger scale commercial greenhouse with a similar niche. Sam became their National Sales Manager and Point 3 Group became a supply partner.

Fast forward to 2022, Sam joined the team at Kentucky Heritage Hemp as their national sales manager. Eventually transitioning to Director of Partnerships as his role grew to encompass supplier and partner relationships in addition to generating revenue.

Sam enjoys helping new businesses bring their visions to life, supporting existing businesses in providing top quality products and playing his part in bringing cannabinoids to market.
