About us
FOUNDER, CEO
My name is Terence Latimer, and I’m the founder of Black Cactus.
Originally from LA, I went to college in Texas and New York. A huge Lakers fan, I’ve lived in Twentynine Palms the last four years.
On a mission to uncover the planets best tacos 🌮 I’ve enjoyed living here so much so that I’ve decided to put down some roots and serve the community through my passion for business, technology and collaboration. Black Cactus 🌵 is a co-working space and my gift to the desert 🏜️, a thank you for the lessons, community, and opportunity to build a life.
You can come to me for things like websites, customer relationship management software, research, or that app you’ve been thinking about finally finishing. I’m looking forward to serving you, and hope you’ll connect with me should you decide to want to build a relationship, have a question, or need my help. Thanks for reading and see you soon!
Our Goals
Through this shared workspace and community, my hope is we’ll build deep relationships rooted in shared vision, innovation and economic opportunity. In addition to providing an innovative and relaxing environment for remote, hybrid and traveling workers, I’ll be offering business and technology services designed to help your organization achieve its goals.
Changing the world is possible.
We’ve done it before.
