I am a founding member of Tourne-Sol co-operative farm where I now lead the seed team.

I love solid farm planning and great management. I am a spreadsheet maniac.

There's a soft spot in my heart for Brassica rapas, hot peppers and anything crossed up. But I'll grow anything to seed at least once.
