I love the question of 'what do you do?' because it is a very open invitation to reveal so much about ourselves.

For me, I love being a father, I have two delightful girls and a son. I am also the husband my fantastic wife Saera Burns.
 

I am beyond grateful to be the 'Conductor' of Orchestra Farm, an experimental farm project. This opportunity continues to change, and I search for ways to bring whole system designs into practice. With my current home at WingedHeart on Salt Spring Island BC, I am now setting up systems of resilience with a flock of 60 chickens, for eggs, and currently setting up both water systems for growing along with systems to char (biochar),. I love experimenting with the interactions of the natural world for the benefit of the world.

I'm a musician, writer, dancer, and artist. From the first time I touched any of those mediums they have been intrinsic to who I am. I adore the freedom and creativity they avail to me and those that witness these activities. 
As a musician I am absorbed in the brilliance of sound, and how I may trigger it to happen, along with how I may change it once recorded. I've been inspired with this since childhood and am on a creative roll at this stage of my life.
 

I am also a futurist and philosopher, and you can hear more of my ideas in this regard through my ongoing video series and my book, Rumi.Nations. You may also find an assortment of podcasts that I've been interviewed on in the blog section of this website.
