About Me:
From the summer of 2000 until the spring of 2007, I worked in information technology support in central Florida. In April of 2007, I walked away from that career to start an apprenticeship on an organic farm 40 miles south of Savannah, GA. This apprenticeship transitioned into a lifestyle as a migrant laborer, project manager, and occaisional entrepenuer on various farms practicing sustainable agriculture and engaged in local, direct markets around the southeastern United States.

In January of 2010, I started pursuing an interdisciplinary degree in Sustainable Agriculture, with a minor in Animal Science, from the College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky.

For the summer of 2011, I was the Farm Program Manager and Resident Agriculturalist at an outdoor school in the high desert of New Mexico. I managed a small vegetable garden, laying hens, and meat chickens while educating students about the obstacles and methods of low input agriculture in a fragile, arid ecosystem.

To date, I have experience producing in a wide range of climates and on varied soils as well as marketing those plant and animal products in economically diverse communities.

I love farming and I think food brings people together.

About sandalswithsocks:
When I used to work in a cubicle with a bunch of other eccentric computer nerds, I wore sandals with socks. The suits let us get away with stuff like that, because for all they understood about information technology, we were a workshop of magic elves.

I was the only one that wore sandals with socks, though. I got complaints from female peers regularly.
