Matthew Huber
Boosting Your Garden Yields with Algae
Matthew Huber has had his head under water a little too long, and his remaining brain cells are either superheros or long dead zombies. He firmly believes that people need algae education.

“‘I based my life on the School House Rock video, ‘Energy'”- says Matthew. Matthew has been growing algae for over 20 years but has no tattoos of algae. He has taught college general and marine biology, oceanography, and worked at the top of the game in algae biofuels, and received grants to build his lab. He has spoken to large chemical and plastics manufacturers, worked with wastewater treatment systems, consulted to hedge funds, and is working with academics on uses of algae biomass. He is best known for donating his hair to Fabio for the shampoo commercials. He invites you to grow algae with Algae Research and Supply.
