Hesselridge Farm
Turning a slightly worn, somewhat overgrazed 10-acre horse property into a carbon neutral food production site.
Currently Writing . . .
A short but heartfelt book intended for the mass market, with a working title of Forward to the Land: Why Progressives Need to Reclaim Rural America Now, and Why Rich Liberals Should Help Them Do It. It presents an analysis, an argument, a guidebook—and above all, a plea—for left leaning Americans to find new ways to exert greater political power in the most radical way possible: through the soil.
Volunteering with Humanitarian Open Street Map
I discovered this amazing opportunity for GIS users to not that long ago, and I’ve started (and completed) a few projects now, including disaster preparedness mapping in Sri Lanka and flood response assistance in Brazil. I volunteer as a way to help those most impacted by climate change, for which my birth nation is most responsible.
Android App Development
I have completed coding a fully functional beta version of an app called PuppyLog. This simple app helps new puppy owners track their new pet’s house training progress, log potty breaks, etc. The app uses a cloud-based database on the back end, so logs can be shared among owners and caregivers. Planned release on Google Play Store in 2024.
