Trained as an engineer, economist and ecologist, I have worked in those areas as well as a carpender, consultant, designer, stone mason and timber framer. I am also trained as a facilitator, and have worked in prisons as well as with Community Conferencing and healing and peace-making circles. Beekeeping and heirloom gardening is where I find my refuge, and also where I have turned to along with traditional medical approaches for my healing.
