I was born and raised in the Southeastern US, and am a computer engineer by training and trade. Outside the office, my wife and I are raising and home-educating our five children, trying to move toward a healthier, more regenerative lifestyle for our family.

My concern for the systemic challenges facing human beings in mine and my chidren's lifetimes led me to become involved in the conversations which eventually spawned the Eldenbridge Institute.

Nearing the end of 2015, I've just completed my first PDC. I'm particularly interested in hydrology, soil biology, chicken systems, and resilient technologies such as renewable energy and amateur radio telecommunications. My hope is to continue learning and teaching with the Eldenbridge Institute, and applying what I've learned within my community in helpful ways.
