Bio
Born into a conventional beef and grain operation, taken through the depths of poverty, I felt the affect and effect of estranged communities and family; I ate garbage during and after my national tour while learning about biodynamic agriculture. I want to change the way we interact with our landscape, our food, and as a community.
