Born in England, moved to Massachusetts when I was 8 and California when I was 21. Lived in coastal california, (Capitola/Santa Cruz) for almost 20 years before moving to the Sierras. Owned and worked a farm in Grass Valley then moved to Portland in 2014.

I became interested in permaculture around 2008 and began applying the principles to my farm in Grass Valley.

Began running an edible plant nursery in Portland in 2014. Finally took a PDC in February 2015. Am now planning on expanding operations to include a 40 acre farm in Molalla which will be developed with permaculture practices.
