BIZPAC Medical and Healthcare Industry Chairman

President of Research and Development at Vyripharm Biopharmaceuticals

Dr. Elias Jackson and his team at Vyripharm are leaders in the therapeutic and medicinal benefits of cannabinoid research. Their focus has been to work together with legislators to regulate the quality of these medicines to ensure public safety and hold pharmaceutical entities accountable. Dr. Jackson has not only educated, but excited members of BIZPAC with his research. Vyripharm’s work at the Texas Medical Center and BIZPAC’s relationships with state legislators has resulted in successful strides toward ending the opioid crisis by permitting further biopharmaceutical research that has already begun to revolutionize medicine.

BIZPAC Education and Curriculum Chairman

President/Founder TC Technologies

Mark is BIZPAC’s leading expert on Chapter 313 and the corruption behind the school boards’ incentive to sell this bill to the public as an economic incentive program. Mark and BIZPAC worked to inform the public as well as legislators at the Texas capitol that this 22-year-old program caused a massive tax burden on homeowners and small businesses. Mark is also working to remove harmful curriculum that indoctrinates grade schoolers and causes division among younger generations. Education is crucial to BIZPAC’s legislative agenda through our initiatives fueling economic growth and development. With that in mind, we value the importance of public educators teaching inclusive and accurate curriculum to our children and the future of our country.
