During a trip to Australia in 2006/07 Jesse earned two Permaculture Design Certificates, under the instruction of both Geoff Lawton and Bill Mollison. As a supplement to this thorough theoretical instruction, several weeks were spent at the Permaculture Research Institute gaining valuable practical experience working with Permaculture systems. Since these first introductions to Permaculture Jesse has been working full time as a Permaculture Educator and Designer in Western Canada, Australia and the Middle East.

Jesse is fully committed to the dissemination of Permaculture and its ethic of Earth care, People care, and Return of surplus.  An enthusiastic educator he is always on the lookout for his next student or willing ear.

Jesse is a co-founder of Pacific Permaculture, if you would like a more detailed synopsis of Jesse's Permaculture activities check out his CV.
