I was born and raised , mostly, in Orange County Indiana. I Graduated High School With a Vocational Diploma (welding). Years later earned an Associate of Applied Science in Design Technology: Mechanical. Career wise, 16 years experience Mechanical,Architectural and Structural Steel Drafting and 3D modeling. I am proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, AutoCAD and SolidWorks design software.

Permaculture has opened my eyes to an example of how People should establish themselves to help insure the future will be there for everyone and everything, long after money has lost all value.
I first stumbled upon Permaculture while researching edible landscaping. I watched a video by Geoff Lawton touring a 300 year old food forest in vietnam. It blew me away! I realized the high value of a sustainable food source.

Currently, I am in the early stages of converting our corner lot, in town, to be more sustainable. Its challenging working around the town ordinances but we have some rain collection, annual veg gardens, compost bin, fruit trees and small solar system. I'm looking forward to planting a few Hazelnut trees this spring for a wind break that will feed us!
