Specialties: Accelerating Nature Based Solutions like Beaver-Biomimicry and Bison-Biomimicry to harness the power of flowing water and erosion to speed regenerative processes and establish positive feedback loops. Establishing healthy, diverse soils so that we can leverage the design elements among billions of biological organisms and build a resilient solar powered landscape that does no harm, improves over time, sequesters carbon, builds multigenerational wealth and improves all downstream habitats.* Flood mitigation, Low Impact Development, groundwater recharge, BioSwales, rainwater gardens.*water harvesting, aquifer recharge, biofiltration, habitat regeneration on a landscape scale.*Threatened and Endangered Species surveys, monitoring, habitat enhancement.*Golden-cheeked warblers, Black-capped vireo, Karst Species, Gopherus spp. and herpetology.*Baseline Documentation reports for conservation easements.*Building-science, natural building materials, and eco-friendly building techniques.*Composting, organic farming, re-mineralization, and soil building.*Stacking functions and turning waste streams into resources. Basically, I teach others to work in harmony with natural processes rather than fight against them.
