Preston Head III

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

I'm the Founder and CEO of Sea Gate Corporation, a business development and sales firm built for the regulated cannabis and hemp industries. I'm also building an AI-forward technology platform designed to bring stronger infrastructure, smarter tools, and greater efficiency to cannabis commerce.

My work sits at the intersection of sales, strategy, partnerships, and execution. Through Sea Gate, I've helped leading operators including LEEF Labs and California Organics generate several million dollars in revenue through wholesale sales, strategic account development, and market expansion.

Earlier in my career, I served as Director of Business Development at Double Barrel, a cannabis vape brand backed by the founding partners of Dosist, and was one of the first sales hires at dosist, where I grew the Southern California territory from zero, to one of the best selling brands in the state.

Before cannabis, I built my foundation in institutional brokerage and executive search — industries that sharpened my ability to sell, build relationships, and navigate complex markets.

I'm driven by early opportunities, high-performing teams, and building companies with real scale. I'm equally committed to mentoring the next generation of leaders in discipline, communication, leadership, and financial literacy.

I grew up in Laguna Beach, competed for UCLA, played Premier League water polo with the New York Athletic Club, won gold with the USA Water Polo National Cadet Team, and served as a Laguna Beach Ocean Lifeguard. Those experiences shaped my operating style: disciplined, composed under pressure, and biased toward action.

I'm based in New York. Outside of work, you'll find me surfing big waves, training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or on a yoga mat.
