WELCOME
ABOUt
For twenty years, I’ve been helping property owners and managers to create a healthier, more resilient, more diverse, and more abundant operation, one site at a time! Designing, growing and building a better Earth - one person, one acre, one step, and one project at a time.
As a professional solar energy and sustainability educator, consultant, builder and designer, I share cutting-edge tools and technologies for creating a cleaner, greener and more resilient world. I offer ecological wisdom principles taught to me by various sustainability elders and earth-based traditions, along with emergent scientific best management practices, including ecological restoration and Permaculture Design, which I organize into a unique and easy to understand sustainability framework for humanity to live in harmony.
EXPERIENCE
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working with hundreds of properties, private residential properties, resorts, farms, and retreat centers to incorporate regenerative design principles into their property vision, practice and operation.
I have a diverse professional background and clientele ranging from small government agencies and non-profits as well as multi-unit and single family residential suburban homes, homesteads, farms, resorts, retreats, communities and commercial properties. Over 80% of my clients are single family residential properties, rural family farms, and small to medium sized retreat-center or resort properties.
I have formal training in Environmental Horticulture Science and Environmental Biology from Santa Barbara City College (2002 - 2006) with decades of hands on experience teaching and practicing regenerative design, including in the areas of: natural building; Permaculture Design; sustainable land use design; recycling and composting; solar energy system plus battery storage (on and off grid applications); and project leadership and facilitation.
I work with savvy property owners who want to enhance their property abundance, resilience and performance while adding personal safety, security, cost savings, and freedom using the Appreculture Design Framework.
Appreculture Design Framework
Four Spheres of Sustainability:
(1) Ecology / Planet
(2) Equality / People
(3) Economic / Purpose
(4) Essence / Personal
