Sustainable agriculture is my passion. The science is beautiful, the farmers inspirational, the landscape magical, the potential for change bountiful & the food delicious. I have studied and worked in sustainable agriculture for over a decade. When a film project fell in my lap, the shoe fit.
I am a visual learner. My notes are mostly drawings and models that represent the concepts I am learning. Film allows me to combine my passion for sustainable agriculture with my ability create visual depictions & accurately convey ideas.
Born and raised on 200 acres in the Sierra Nevada just outside Yosemite National Park. The closest town is Mariposa, a gold rush town without a stoplight.
