I am a naturalist, a barefoot hiker and a sustainable living practitioner. I hope to share my experiences in living symbiotically with nature with my fellow species in hopes of expanding knowledge on how to create a life utilizing your local environment's many beneficial resources. I hope sharing my work will promote others to live in companionship with our natural world.
