I work at the intersection of ecology and economy where permaculture design meets cooperative organizations intent on meeting human needs while enhancing the conditions conducive to all life. I frequently model new businesses, teach classes, workshops, do public speaking, facilitate meetings, plan events and provide one on one mentoring. I am as fluent with information technology as I am with perennial polyculture food forestry. Writing, speaking, researching, analysis and mentoring are my strongest skills. I’ve raised millions of dollars of venture capital for companies I’ve founded and I raise ducks in my small urban garden in San Francisco.
