I describe myself as a Peace, Justice and Environmental activist. I've been playing around, in a somewhat serious fashion, with the notion of constructing a New World Paradigm since 1974.

I have a Permaculture Design Certificate and have taught certified permaculture courses
I have a bachelors in Economics and Psychology, but my interest in economics and psychology go far beyond that. Also an associates degree in Data Processing and one course short of an associates in Drama.
