I want a hyperlocal farm to table system to get bionutrient dense produce into Kansas City people's mouths. The system in development focuses on stacking functions in order to achieve the greatest impact. Farms will be located in Kansas City's dormant neighborhoods to revive health, transfer $177 million of wealth across the red-line, and imbue a sense of place, beauty, and purpose.

During the day I work with Prairie Design Build. I believe that our buildings must have the same regenerative impact as a flower and so I work on getting us there. After spending a year exploring New Zealand, I learned how to design buildings to the highest energy efficiency standard in the world as a Passivhaus Designer, create Living Buildings for a more beautiful planet, and impact the future of low-cost housing with the Wikihouse team.

Hemingway said it best - when you stop doing things for fun, you might as well be dead.
