Permaculture Designer and Consultant

I have been a Permaculture Designer since 2009. Prior to completing my PDC (Permaculture Design Certification Course), I was a successful home gardener using the Grow Bio-Intensive Method. I was trained in Bio-Intensive gardening in 2006 and have had the pleasure of studying under Jon Jeavons directly. In addition to Permaculture Design and Grow Bio-Intensive I am also trained in Holistic Management, Keyline Design and Trust Nature's, Bio-Vital management techniques.

My passion for Regenerative Food Growing Systems and lower impact living solutions has brought me here to Australia to study at the Permaculture Research Institute with world-renowned Permaculture teacher and mentor Geoff Lawton.

I want to be the change I want to see in the world, so I moved along with my wife and two young boys here to Australia with the intention to gain as much experience, knowledge and credibility in Permaculture Design as I can under Geoff Lawton.

My approach to design is to fully engage the client’s specific needs, desired outcomes and location possibilities into an informative/educational experience. My goal is to give you the confidence to apply Permaculture techniques to your system. I want to work with you to help in achieving a vision and roadmap to a successful and abundant life system.
