About Me: 

I am a passionate foodie, avid gardener and manic entrepreneur. I have three blogs, www.gardenertofarmer.net, www.portlandfoodie.com and www.edgyentrepreneur.com. I am the owner of two businesses, Escalation Business Consulting and Gardener to Farmer. Escalation Business Consulting  provides business development/strategic planning, image management/profile development, fund development/strategic fundraising planning and social network marketing/training. Gardener to Farmer is my other business. I am currently building a network of micro growers to help supply naturally grown produce to the restaurants I serve. I also offer edible garden coaching services.

I have a partner and two kids and a small dog named Spencer. I am starting the American Leadership Forum Oregon this August and am looking forward to continued learning...
