An entrepreneur with a background in mechanical engineering and procurement. He has a passion for turning organic waste resources into beneficial soil biology. With no prior history of agriculture, he jokingly admits that he’s a “recovering Townie”. Initially taught by Dr. Elaine Ingham has been running Soil Ecology Laboratory since 2019 where he’s been focusing on helping farmers rebuild their soil microbiome. By bringing together a small team of passionate soil geeks he’s enabled the development of the first ready to use soil food web product in the world. He’s taught almost one hundred farmers, gardeners and agronomists how to assess the soil food web in soil and compost, so that they could make their own informed decisions when using external products or to see how their soils and composts are developing.
