I have been studying and applying Permaculture since 1996.

 

In January 2008 I established Sierra Permaculture Design, through which I provide Permaculture Design and Consulting services ( sierrapermaculture.com ) to individuals and organizations.

 

I founded the Sierra Permaculture Guild ( sierrapermaculture.org ) in the autumn of 2007 to encourage Permaculture info-sharing, education & networking in the Sierra Nevada bioregion. Permaculture groups and guilds from throughout the Sierra are encouraged to contact us and get involved.

In June of '07,  I obtained my  Permaculture Design Certificate under the guidance of Penny Livingston-Stark, James Stark, Brock Dolman, Geoff Lawton, and Starhawk at the Regenerative Design Institute/Commonweal Garden in Bolinas, CA.

 

From 1998 to 2000, I was the Executive Director of Long Beach Organic.

Prior to this time, I worked in Los Angeles in the multimedia industry. I have a degree in Film & Video/Theater Arts from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

I enjoy foreign and domestic travel, reading, camping, creating magick and ritual, yoga, history, skiing, swimming, photography, drumming, and sustainably managing my 13-acre family homestead within the Yuba watershed.

 

Om shanti!
