---------------------------------

My Journey (so far):
2018: Graduated in Environmental Science in the US, moved to New Zealand
2019: Began transforming our family orchard into a food forest demo site
2020–2023: Installed countless food forests across New Zealand and beyond
2024:
– Created the Food Forest Fellowship: my global membership & mentorship program
– Traveled through Brazil, Costa Rica, and Florida, documenting world-class syntropic farms
– Working on larger-scale farm projects, iwi/indigenous-led designs, and installations

2025:
– Facilitate community training weekends, and hands-on intensives around NZ and Australia
– Touring and documenting cutting-edge Mediterranean agroforestry systems (Portugal, Spain, etc)
– Prototyping modular food forest systems for streamlined training and scaling
– Expanding my network and library of case studies to share what actually works in climates around the world
– Supporting a new wave of consultants through mentorship, documentation, and field-tested systems

🌱 What I’m Doing Today:
Still based in New Zealand, I split my time between improving our farm, training others, consulting internationally, and helping bring large-scale food forest systems to life.

To all aspiring agroforestry practitioners, remember that every challenge is part of your epic journey. Keep pushing forward. You'll either achieve great success or gain invaluable stories.

Both outcomes are victories.
