I call myself a Utopian. Why? My first love and teacher is Mother Earth. I have invested my life chasing beauty and infusing it into meaningful services, buildings, communities, businesses, and platforms that help to raise consciousness and reveal shades of Utopia.

I am a 'nature native', growing up in the 1970s and 80s in the wilderness of Canada. Yet, I have lived in some of the largest cities in the world for most of my adult life. I can see how far off track I have come from my roots and I am looking for a 4th way. My intention is to spend my creative energies getting back to nature with the skills I have acquired in my life work, sharing experiences with the people I love.

My current work is centered around community building, from peer-to-peer co-creation to the design, development and operation of regenerative villages. In my Medium account, I write about the things that elevate my humanity, grouping topics into our superpowers of consciousness, connectivity, and creativity.
