Serving as the manager of Sonoran Permaculture Guild and as its lead teacher and designer for twenty two years, I have taught workshops and courses throughout Southwest drylands, Mexico, and on Native American nation’s territory. By combining a B.S. in Forestry, masters level work in Landscape Architecture, and Permaculture I have evolved a system of that works well for  design clients and for teaching Permaculture. I have completed two Permaculture Design courses and have been awarded a Permaculture Diploma in the field of Education, Design, and Community Service by the Permaculture Institute in Santa Fe. I have been on the adjunct faculty of Prescott College and Pima Community College, teaching classes and mentoring students on Permaculture, passive solar design, water harvesting, edible plants of the Sonoran desert, and sustainable site planning and design. I managed the Sonoran Permaculture Guild certification course each Spring in Tucson and sometimes also in another Southwest city for twenty two years, teaching the majority of the course content.
