WELCOME

ABOUt

For over twenty years, I’ve been helping property owners and their managers create a healthier, more resilient, more diverse, and more abundant world, one property at a time! Designing, growing and building a better Earth.

As a professional holistic sustainability educator, consultant, builder and designer, I share cutting-edge tools and technologies for creating a cleaner, greener and more resilient world. I share ecological wisdom traditions and Nature-based environmental design principles, along with emergent scientific best management practices, which I organize into a unique holistic framework for humanity to live in harmony with the Earth and eachother.

EXPERIENCE

Over the last two decades, I’ve had the great privilege of working with hundreds of property owners including private, public and corporate property owners to implement sustainability into their mission, vision, practice and operation.

I have a diverse professional background and clientele ranging from government agencies and non-profits as well as multi-unit and suburban homes, homesteads, farms, resorts, retreats, communities, non-profits, colleges and numerous commercial properties.

I have formal training in Environmental Horticulture Science and Environmental Biology with decades of hands on experience teaching and practicing regenerative design, including in the areas of: natural and green building; Permaculture Design; regenerative agriculture; sustainable land use design; waste reduction, recycling and composting; solar energy system plus battery storage (on and off grid applications); and project leadership and facilitation.

I work with savvy property owners who want to enhance their property abundance, biodiversity, resilience and performance while adding safety, security, cost savings, and freedom using the Appreculture Design Framework.
