More than a decade of collaborating with over 250 schools in California and dozens of NGO’s focusing on improving community health, food access, and school garden education, has only fueled his passion for creating food-producing outdoor classrooms that engage kids in nature's processes, teach them to grow food from the living soil with their own hands, and of course provide the best of tree-ripened organic snacking.

His appreciation for trees and how they can heal our relationship with this planet gives him great drive to the mission of Common Vision. He joined Common Vision as a volunteer in spring of 2014 and now is leading the crew as Program Director.
