Richard (Dick) Bostdorff brings over 70 years experience in agriculture.  He obtained his bachelor’s from Ohio State University, working his way through school at the HJ Heinz Research facility in Bowling Green, then obtained his Master’s from  University Of Missouri at Columbia in Extension Agent. Over the course of his long career, he served as an extension agent in New York and Oregon, as a VP for a horticulture production plant in Florida, as a research specialist for Cornell University and the Williamette Valley in Oregon and as an owner/operator of a greenhouse production company in Ohio, his current home. He currently serves on several Boards of Directors and teaches at Bowling Green State University, specializing in vegetable production.

Dick began experimenting with lighting on the plants in his greenhouse and discovered that strobing with a Xenon light produced stronger tomato plants.  He patented the lighting system using Xenon strobes for agricultural applications.  He spent the next few years conducting field tests in various greenhouse environments.  After seeing continued improvements, he began seeking a manufacturer he could partner with to bring this invention to market. In early 2024, he partnered with the owners of Neotek, Inc. He remains as a consultant and valued strategic partner in Firefly-One, LLC, while continuing to serve the agriculture and business community in Bowling Green, OH.
