WHAT DO I DO

i mostly farm, but i’ll get a lil’ dirt on my keyboard so you don’t have to

Spreadsheet wizardry

I empower small farms to learn to use spreadsheets. I provide examples of my own to inspire others to improve the way they manage their data. I share my spreadsheets on seeds with crop planning, harvest tracking, maintaining organic certification and more to come.



Digital tools

I’m all about leveling up small-scale farmers’ game, guiding them through the setup of the digital tools for managing share documents, storing passwords, keeping notes, managing to-do lists, and more. Posts to come.

standard operating procedures

I outline systems to be performed by humans, backed digital systems, mostly spreadsheets, but also by referencing a library of digital resources.

ABOUT ME

For the first 25 years of my life, I was the quintessential nerd, deep into video games, tinkering with computers, and loving every pixelated moment. I began building websites at an early age – even building a website for my high school (and it was a lot harder than it is now). But, by the time I completed college and obtained my degree in computer science, the typical gamer lifestyle: sitting in a chair all day + mountain dew + poor diet = a heavy took a toll on my health and I found myself in need of a change. Closely tied with diet, the environmental issues around industrial agriculture started tugging at my conscience – I decided it was time for a reboot.

Enter my journey into the world of cooking from scratch, where, in time, I began centering my diet around locally sourced veggies. There was a long road ahead – picture me at my first farmers’ market in Salt Lake City in December wondering where the tomatoes were. Eventually, I moved to Cedar City where I became a regular at the farmers’ market and fate intervened – that’s where I crossed paths with Sara and Symbria of Red Acre Farm, and whom later founded Red Acre Center for Food and Agriculture
