About Me: 

I started off life as an artist. After raising two wonderful sons, and then embarking on a life full of adventure and world travel, I've settled down to become an urban farmer and beekeeper in my childhood hometown of Philadelphia, PA. I have founded a non-profit green consulting firm, Green Sanctuary Earth Institute of Philadelphia, PA. This was one way I could transplant the green living lifestyle I loved when I lived in Vermont. I'm a blogger and also a published poet. Creativity in every form of relationship is what gets me out of bed in the morning. A practicing Buddhist, I find find three things for which to be grateful every day. There is hard work, there is inspiration, there is luck, and then there is grace. Inspiration, luck and grace are all gifts of the spirit.

Profession: 
Green consultant
Location: 
Philadelphia, PA
Employers: 

Most of my life I've been self-employed; freelance court reporting firm, designer of children's clothing and accessories, and transpersonal workshops and retreats. I cut my community organizing teeth working as campaign field staff for Senator Sanders, I-VT and as publicity and marketing manager for The Countryman Press, a subsidiary of W.W. Norton & Company.
