I moved into the Permaculture field after taking the 1st online PDC course from Geoff Lawton in 2013.
Having grown up with family in the dairy and organic vegetable business, I of course went the opposite direction into the IT world. I worked as a Microsoft trainer, a Transition manager, developing Best Practices and various other roles. After a successful career I shifted my focus back to sustainable, self sufficiency.
Currently, I am working on combing the two fields in a manner I believe will make Permaculture more available to more people by shortening some of the learning curve.
