Blaine Morris

In the summers, as a kid growing, you would often find Blaine working in the watermelon fields applying stickers, while his dad was managing the harvest crews. From the age of 9 years old Blaine has fond memories of getting up early, riding the bus to the fields and after work his mom would pick him up exhausted and excited at the same time. While in high school he worked in the “Land Lab” better known as the Research Station, growing and caring for trials of various crops. After high school, he worked for a few different seed companies while going to Arizona Western College, later continuing his education at the University of Arizona in Tuscan. While there, he worked at the University’s dairy farm. While in college, Davie Brooks the head grower for Pasquinelli called him in for an interview, was offered a job on the spot and “never looked back.” 2002 would be the year he started his professional career as a grower for the company his dad worked for and that he admired. Blaine married in 2007 and finished his bachelors of Science degree in agriculture in 2011, something he describes as being important for him and his family. Davie Brooks a few years later would retire and had been grooming Blaine to take his place from day one, and in 2013 he turned over the reigns. “I have big shoes to fill,” says Blaine.

When not at work he enjoys his wonderful family, coaching his kids in sports, and getting to enjoy the outdoors with his them. Family time is precious to him. His greatest joys working for the Pasquinelli family is the satisfaction of knowing that the fresh, healthy food he is growing is being enjoyed by people all over the world. He also likes working with his dad and knows at the end of the day, his dad (Calvin Morris) has his back and he can always count on him for support.

Blaine is impressed by the dedication and loyalty of the hundreds of Pasquinelli employees. He admires their dedication and hard work and sees them as an extension of his family.
