Since the year 2000, I've dedicated my deep interest in applied ecology to exploring patterns in landscape use that rebuild ecosystems and meet people’s material needs. As a design principal at the Regenerative Design Group, I combine my professional training in environmental and Permaculture design with the hands-on experience of a farmer, homesteader, and builder to help people create more integrated, symbiotic relationships between natural, agricultural, and built landscapes. Through my
work as an educator, I guide students from Smith and Marlboro Colleges, the Conway School of Landscape Design, Wellesley, and UMass-Amherst through the planning and design applications of Resilience Thinking, Productive Conservation, and Permaculture Principals.
