Tenisio Seanima, the inaugural Urban Agriculture Manager for East Point, GA possesses an unwavering passion for creating positive change, which earned him the reputation as a service-driven leader across the Southeastern United States. During the past two decades, he has cultivated extensive experience in the arena of cooperative development, food policy, agricultural sales, leadership, mass media, and social activism.

Tenisio began his career path in agriculture by serving as the owner of Nature's Candy Farms and the Sales Manager of Truly Living Well Center for Natural Urban Agriculture, respectively.  He also spent the period between 2015 and 2019 serving as the Farmer Services Coordinator for Georgia Organics, Inc., the Procurement Associate for the Common Market Southeast, and as a Program Coordinator for HABESHA, Inc, all of which are notable agricultural organizations operating in the state of Georgia.

In addition to a B.S. in Green and Sustainable Enterprise Management from the University of Phoenix, Tenisio is Master Gardener Certified by HABESHA, Inc. and he’s certified on the USDA's National Organic Program rules for Produce and Livestock by the International Organic Inspector's Association.  He is also a certified produce-safety trainer with the Produce Safety Alliance.

In the near future, he aspires to revive his family’s farm, the August Long Estate, which has withstood the test of time since 1882.

When he isn’t immersed in his multifaceted agriculture career, Tenisio enjoys wild foraging, practicing Egyptian yoga, and even DJing. Above all, he loves his family and the quality time he gets to spend with them. Tenisio is a loving husband and proud father of one spectacular daughter and two amazing sons.
