Permaculture Design Certification Course at Esalen

Hello, I am currently living in Oakland, CA.  I am assisting in the teaching of a permaculture class at UC Berkeley Extension and I am co-teaching a Permaculture and Earth Arts class at the San Francisco Institute of Architecture.  Earlier this year, I completed my second PDC at the Esalen Institute, with Benjamin Fahrer leading the course.  At the beginning of the year, I spent four months traveling in India.  I completed a one month Permaculture tour of south India led by Rico Zook.  Sites included: Bangalore, Mysore, Udupi, Kannur and Hampi.  

I am an environmental professional with experience in civil and environmental engineering, permaculture, green building and sustainable energy.

I have a license as Professional Enginer (P.E.) in Civil Engineering in the state of California.  I am currently studying Permaculture and have participated in these recent workshops:

- Making a Difference: Creating a Sustainable World, with Kat Steele, Maggie Seeley and Mark Lakeman at the Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California.

- Permaculture Design Course (PDC) with Darren Doherty at Quail Springs, near New Cuyama, California.

-Girasol Natural Building Ecovillage Workshop, with Martin Schulke, Mark Lakeman and Lydia Doleman at the Girasol site in Valle de Las Palmas, Baja California Norte, Mexico. 

- Permaculture Teacher Training with Benjamin Fahrer and Kat Steele at Esalen, Big Sur, California.

- Energy Efficiency Workshop with Amory Lovins at Esalen, Big Sur, California.

I have lived, worked and traveled extensively.  Here is a map!
