I am a journeyman electrician with a PA journeyman's certificate. I own and operate a small electrical contracting business. I am a self taught gardener/small farmer as a hobby. I also raise dairy goats, chickens, and ducks.

I became interested in permiculture through my studies of agriculture. I was exposed to permiculture through Ben Faulk's books, mother earth news fair, and various other sources before I decided to take Geoff Lawton's design course online.

I am currently working on my own 25 acre farm implementing permiculture principles as finances allow. I am also consulting on a 4 acre site near Pittsburgh. I would like to grow my hobby into a small business consulting for clients in my area.
