Born in the Territory of Alaska, I've been all over the world, even managed to get back up to Alaska in the commercial fishing industry, I lived in West Berlin when the Wall was built, and moved to Albuquerque, NM. I joined the Navy and went off to Vietnam, graduated from the Defense Department Information Specialist School, and became a newspaper editor-in-chief of a 12 page weekly paper. I finished my hitch, later joined the Army, went to Fort Benning, GA, and Officer Candidate School, served at Battery, Battalion and Brigade command levels, went to Germany and earned the Army Commendation Medal.

Our focus will be to turn ranches in southern Oregon into food forests using permaculture. Each site will showcase systems to produce clean energy, food, water, and renewable materials for construction and fabrication.

We have the means to end thirst, hunger, homelessness and energy deficits in America, and in every nation, given the opportunity to show our guests and visitors onsite and online. Our work with Dr. Rajat Sharma, in India, with his www.unaccc.org with 30,000 members in 157 countries, will help show people what is now possible to end thirst, hunger, homelessness and energy deficits with available systems.

We will work closely with Erik Cutter, and his documentary www.farmacyoflight.com produced with Ryan Wirick, is well worth seeing. www.alegriafarmacy.com is his site, the film covers his work on urban agriculture over three decades. He will work with our group to showcase different ways to grow food.
