About Me

I am a 28 year old Naturalist, Agricultural Specialist, and Author whom loves to share their knowledge to the world. I sincerely believe that writing Environmental Content provides valuable information important to the cultural transformation needed to stabilize our Climate and reduce our environmental impact.

I was raised in California and currently travel the world exploring rare ecosystems, studying traditional/modern agricultural techniques, and building a network of like-minded environmentally conscious individuals.

I have volunteered in countless Environmental Focused projects in North and Central America and continue to do so as a way of life. I currently support myself through eco-tourism work, private education, consulting, and writing content for private clients.

My expertise includes

Agriculture. Permaculture, Home Gardening and Everything In-between.
Botany, Mycology, Soil Science and general Ecology.
Sustainability and Alternative Living
