ABOUT ME
I'm currently living in western Montana, serving as a gardening and natural building intern at a permaculture learning institute. I supervise the other interns and develop the day's schedule, focusing both on immediate needs as well as long-term planning and goals.

Here, we focus on sustainable, non-toxic building and gardening techniques that eschew plastics, petroleum products, and other various and sundry toxic gick. A day could include anything ranging from planting seeds or harvesting crops, to creating wood-burned signs and roundwood furniture, to making cob and repairing water hydrants. I enjoy putting my hands in the dirt, and in this day and age I don't really want to be anywhere else.

Formerly, I served at a non-profit employment center for nearly 14 years, where I helped people train for and find work. My specialties included classroom facilitation (I was teaching adults) and curriculum development. I'm particularly proud of my CDL Learner's Permit training program, which I designed and which had proven success helping many residents of Baltimore City change their lives for the better.
