Welcome to my personal website.
Seeing the connections between nature, everyday life, and the choices that shape both.
Most people don’t think about the connections shaping their daily lives—why things cost what they cost, why places change, or how nature fits into it all.
I help people see those connections.
I’m a conservation entrepreneur, storyteller, author, and advocate for environmental, economic, and social stewardship. I sometimes jokingly describe myself as a “Chief Dot Connector,” because my work today is less about managing organizations and more about helping people make sense of the world around them—and their place within it.
Through my public-benefit business, The Conservation Company, I share stories, tools, and ideas to help people reconnect with nature where they live, work, and play.
I practice what I call a Stewardship Lifestyle—and from that, I’ve developed The Stewardship Way.
It’s not a program.
It’s not a certification.
It’s a growing community of people from all walks of life who have made the decision to live with purpose, based on the Principles of Stewardship.
It’s free to become involved—and I hope you will.
Whether you’re here for news and story posts, videos, educational resources, or to explore my work in sustainable living and re-commerce, this site brings it all together in one place.
Thanks for visiting. Take a look around, subscribe to a free publication, check out our growing library of free Stewardship Guides, or just enjoy the journey.
I’ve spent my life helping people help the environment—where they live, work, and play.
Whether it’s restoring landscapes for birds and pollinators, promoting local food systems, building educational programs, creating certification programs and Best Management Practices, or keeping valuable items out of landfills through online resale—my work centers around one big idea:
