I was born and raised on an organic mixed farm in central Alberta, Canada. From an early age I recognized the limitations of "conventional" organic agriculture methods, especially as it became mainstream. In 2011 I began researching alternative agricultural methods. I soon stumbled upon forest gardening and permaculture and have been hooked since.

After completing my Journeyman Carpentry Certificate and taking various permaculture courses I began working full time on our 250 acre family farm implementing a main frame design. Now after observing positive results I have started a design/consultancy business.

I believe that permaculture has an important role to play in the redesign of our food, energy, water, shelter and social systems. Through Deep Roots Permaculture, I work to develop practical and ethical designs that create and maintain resilient connections between elements that in turn benefit the land while generating a natural abundance for all its inhabitants.
