I've been on a path all my life to understand why the world is the way it is, and how it can be made better.
I took my PDC at the end of University while embarking on a study of sustainability in food systems that no single major encompassed. This led to a research grant, independent study course, and a project to develop a living laboratory for studying and improving the food system at the university.
After university I spent four years working in winemaking, agriculture-related work, and community work in order to pay for school debt and gain more trade-based skill and ability.
In 2013 I travelled to Australia and interned at PRI Australia, Zaytuna Farm for 10-weeks.
Since, I've worked in Oregon with Andrew Millison and others on multiple site projects.
