Since my healing from childhood leukemia, my life has been about wellness and sharing the skill of healing with others in natural settings. Now I am building a Permaculture Wellness Community to make these teachings readily available to a lot more people.
Descripción general
Enfocar
I am focused on optimizing my health, especially structurally, and working on my inner health with the same kinds of principles and treatments I want to teach at the Permaculture Wellness Community. The other most important thing is time with my family and friends, which is why I am aiming to progress from being a contractor to operating my own center. I solved so many life challenges, and I want to be able to share these practices with a lot more people.
Prioridades
When I’m at home I’m typically in my organic garden or relaxing in my wood-burning sauna and cold plunge with like minded friends — it’s a regular men’s gathering. It’s a big part of my life. I tinker a lot with fermentation and natural pesticides.
During the day, I’m a contractor, with clients focusing more and more on natural and sustainable building materials. I also bake sourdough bread from a 207 year old sourdough starter.
My wife and two daughters enjoy walks in nature together. The children both attend Waldorf school, and are learning gardening. My daughters and I built a wood burning stove at the school along with their classmates.

Desafíos
Even though I’m making the best money I’ve ever made in my life, I’m still facing plenty of financial challenges. I want to spend more time with my family and living my life vs. working every day. Even if I wanted to grow my contracting business, I would need to train a lot of people in the techniques I’ve learned over the years. For all of these reasons, the retreat center will bring all of my commitments under one roof, allow me to train others, and create a long lasting and stable financial legacy for my family.
Experiencia
My whole family follows a spiritual and nature-centric path. I lived mostly outside as a kid, always outdoors hiking, surfing, and snowboarding. Being outdoors is so therapeutic — gardening is my best retreat. The approach to life I’ve learned from my family and expanded on my own has given me so much that I am always looking for ways to give back and be of service to others.
Legado
I would love to create a movement for converting conventional farming to large scale organic farming, and help people learn preventative medical techniques instead of getting sick in the first place. I aim to create my retreat center by 2027 to share what I’ve learned, and to host other experts from around the world.
