One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many but....maybe cage diving with great white sharks in South Africa

Teach, Learn, Share

In the not to distant past I built a solar greenhouse (sounds redundant right) from invasive trees, locally grown straw bales, adobe derived from local sources, and high tech materials. Works great, I grew 6000 native plants in 2008. I know a lot about habitat restoration and conservation too.

I would enjoy learning just about anything. Specifically, I am interested in rock climbing, tree climbing and sailing.
