Devin Ergler

Passionate about leveraging chemistry to make a tangible difference, my journey began in the most heartfelt way: assisting my dad in installing water treatments and witnessing firsthand the joy it brought to homeowners. This early exposure instilled in me a belief in the transformative power of chemistry, guiding me to pursue Chemical Engineering at Washington State University.

My curiosity for the natural world, especially the intricate ways plants communicate and contribute to our planet, was nurtured by exploring the forests around my childhood home. This interest led me to volunteer in a mentorship under Justin Fischedick during his post-doc in the Murdock Metabolomics Laboratory, where I deepened my understanding of natural products and honed my analytical chemistry skills.

Transitioning from academia to the professional realm, I embarked on an internship at E&J Gallo Winery. There, I engaged in experiments across various scales—from bench to production—to enhance wine quality through innovative winemaking processes. This experience paved the way for a pioneering role at The Werc Shop, where I contributed to the burgeoning legal cannabis industry in Washington, navigating the challenges of a rapidly evolving market at the intersection of technology and policy.

Returning to Gallo, I further refined my engineering prowess and achieved my Professional Engineering license in Chemical Engineering within California. Today, I've come full circle, working alongside my family at Cascadian Water to address homeowners' water challenges through innovative, chemistry-driven solutions.

I am driven by a commitment to excellence, innovation, and the belief that chemistry can profoundly impact our world. I look forward to connecting with like-minded professionals and exploring opportunities to contribute my skills to meaningful projects.
