    A quick glance at my resume and you'll notice a few commonalities; food, natural resources and restoration. I've had the honor of working with small teams to create large scale changes, from local to national. Tree-Range Farms is a perfect intersection of all three, where our food system and natural resources can be left in better shape than we found it for generations to come!
