Personal Summary

I am an ecologist, farmer, and a mixed-media interdisciplinary artist. I specialize in designing ecosystems on my farm, audio engineering, and frame-by-frame animation. I enjoy capturing wildlife on film and I am a professional media maker in Canada. I have experience in the field of marine biology, science observation, wildlife monitoring, and environmental mitigation. I love team based work and would be happy to work with you on your science project needs.

Work Experience

Ecological Planning, Farm Design & Management
Jun 2016 - Present Cardboard Reality Farm

I have managed a 120 acre property with 40 acres of forest. I developed a forest garden on this property and cultivated a perennial cut flower garden. Ecological management has been at the heart of my project here on the farm. It has been a great joy being in nature, tending the land, and helping the ecosystem develop. I have used the skills of dutiful observation, planning, fieldwork, and environmental management to craft the farm. I operate a diesel powered Kubota and drive a truck while overseeing the farm's projects. I tend a flock of 20 Indian Runner Ducks and enjoy caring for them and helping them as they help the gardens. Community service is important to me. It has been a great honour to take my flowers each week to hospice at Ed's House in Northumberland, Ontario and to provide fresh affordable flowers at the Cobourg Farmers Market.
