I'm a member of the world-wide Hare Krishna Movement. We are vegetarians - no meat, fish or eggs - and practice cow protection as an integral part of our way of life. I was born in the United States and grew up on a ranch in Wyoming. I've traveled over much of the world in the past 45 years as a member of the Hare Krishna Movement, primarily Europe (1974-76) and India (1976-1996). I currently own a home in Rome, GA, USA.

My guru, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada instructed his disciples to develop self-sufficient rural farming communities. I started out as a Master Gardner and my love of Permaculture is a natural progression in pursuit of fulfilling the above goal.

I'm available to any group or individual in our Movement, or outside, interested in developing self-sustaining rural communities based on a non-violent way of life. I offer my services without charge. My only requirement is that my food, lodging and travel expenses be paid while visiting your area plus any incidentals involved in the production of your design (very nominal). I also gladly accept donations. The design I completed for my Permaculture Design Certificate is on a 250 acre farm community in Kentucky striving toward self-sufficiency and I'm now working on one for a 1200 acre community in Mississippi also interested in self-sufficiency.
