Bio
In the past I have worked lots of interesting and some fullfilling jobs. Including off hiway log truck driver in Northern B.C. , a long careeer as a horse logging contracter with a dozen employees and lots of horses. For the last quite a few years we lived near Forest Grove B.C. a village of about 500 folks, and raised a family ( Kids and Grandkids ), produced a yearly music festival, and ran a family farm greenhouse business.
So we are always down with a challenge, that being said we decide to sell our farm grab our dogs and move to Peru. We have been here for 1.5 years and are at present looking for another farm.
I have rarely worked for others usually working on my own projects.
At this time I am working with a team of others to build a world class Ayahuasca Retreat, Lodging for the Pasejos, and a Restaurant with a confernce center in the Amazon of Peru.
So we are in the thick of our new adventure!
