Purpose

Walking the herbalist path from an early age, I’ve gained knowledge and appreciation of plants and their origins. I have been working in the botanical industry since 2004.

Farming, botany and plant conservation through cultivation have become lifelong pursuits. I take a special interest in the procurement of high-quality organic herbs, spices and oils through domestic farm visits and international travel. I am committed to farm development and outreach in the form of special projects such as Fair Wild and Forest Grown woodland botanicals.

Training

B.S. in Plant Science from Rutgers University. I specialized in propagation and agribusiness management, tropical agriculture, bioremediation and tissue culture, then continued doing research for the university and the EPA after graduation.

Over the last 15 years, I’ve studied under various herbalists and at the School of Spagyric and Alchemical Arts in the tradition of Paracelsus and the Philosophers of Nature.
