About

I am the Farm and Food Systems Director for Growing Washington, a Pacific Northwest (U.S.) non-profit farmer cooperative that works  to educate new farmers how to grow organic product while paying them a fair wage for their work. I am also the Network Coordinator for the Puget Sound Food Network, a project of the NW Agriculture Business Center that is working to create and enhance relationships between regional food system participants to increase market access and profitability of our this region's producers. I am focused on growing the amount of local food produced and consumed in our local markets with particular focus on developing robust marketing and distribution networks. I am also focused on embedded energy in our food supply: how much oil, coal and gas are used to grow and move the food we eat. I am concerned with how our conventional food system impacts climate change and how much our food supply is at risk due to an overreliance on fossil fuels.

Other hats: Board, Northwest Sustainable Energy for Economic Development; Trustee, Carolyn Foundation; MBA in Sustainable Business from Bainbridge Graduate Institute ; Assisting the Seattle development of the Interra Project ; soccer coach for my 11 year old daughter's team; father of two, husband of one; avid gardener and skier.
