I decided to study ecology because I quit college in the fall of 1971 in order to decide what I was doing there. I pondered that for a year while working as a carpenter and decided that what I loved the most and was the most interested in was biology. I returned to the University of Illinois where biology led me to ecology, which is really the study of how all biological systems fit together. I got to study wildlife, animal behavior, landscape ecology, and oceanography. Later I was able to receive some of the best training in the world on rivers, how they work and how to restore their natural function.

I would still be working in landscape ecology if it wasn't so darned controversial. People who work the land, farmers and ranchers, are very threatened by the notion that it might be wise to try something different. Though I have also found them to be quite insightful once they're won over.

But I got tired of fighting as an acivist all the time and decided to work with people who want to live healthy lives. When I looked around at what I was good at (and not good at) I decided to start my business.

I've been on an adventure ever since....
