I am a humble student of life, optimist, fan of the underdog, and  maker of lemonade. My passion is designing nature into our urban environment, with an emphasis on widlife habitat, land restoration, and food production. I am a certified permaculture designer ,co-owner of San Francisco Landscapes ,as well as a director of  the non-profit Native Spaces, which promotes native plants in the built environment. I've also been a long time supporter of getting my groove on and a strong advocater for taking a pause for the cause.
