Earth Science Laboratories (ESL) has welcomed a new member to their management team. Matt Quist joined ESL in March as the General Manager of the Agricultural Division. Quist now leads a team using ESL’s unique platform chemistry to develop products for agricultural water treatment, crop nutrition and disease control.
Quist has over 17 years of experience in the agriculture industry. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Agronomy and Crop Science and a master’s in Plant Sciences from California State Polytechnic University-Pomona along with certifications as a Professional Agronomist, Crop Advisor, and Agricultural Pest Control Advisor. He has previously held positions as a research horticulturist, agronomist, and most recently as the National Director of Agronomic Solutions for Wilbur-Ellis.
