Where I Live:: North Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico

About Me:: I work extensively in design, photography, and video production. I continually study at the University of New Mexico. Before joining Ideum in 2005, I founded Identified Media LLC, an interactive design firm that serves educational, non-profit, and select commercial clients in and around Albuquerque, NM. Prior to that, I worked in various film and video departments on documentaries and feature-length films.

I also enjoy a good environmental cause from time-to-time and have a keen interest in alternative energy, sustainability, and wilderness conservation. Check out my site at Environmental Survival Guide.

I've also formed a non-profit organization called Terra Harvest to help promote local foods.

I was told you're doing an urban harvesting program, helping people with fruit trees in their yards get them to produce fruit and then getting it to foodbanks and farmers markets. Is that true? I'm looking around on the web, but send me a line back if you get a chance. I'd like to talk to you for a story I'm doing for Local iQ if you're interested.
