I am 68 years old born in Columbus , Ohio where I was raised on my grandmothers twenty seven acre farm in Pataskala, Ohio on weekends, summer, and holidays where our nana taught us how to grow food and learn about the soil and animal husbandry until I was seventeen which was the time I went into the Air Force.

I lived in Columbus, Ohio until the age of thirty and moved to Lansing, Michigan for 1990 to 1995 , when I was stationed at Nellis Air Force base in the 72nd Army Police squadron, which relocated the Forward Operating Base, ( FOB ) from Henderson, Nevada to Nellis Air Force Base until my discharge in 2003 and received two Honorable Discharges, one from the United  States Air Force and one from the United States Army in 2003.

I am happily married and we have a daughter and son who are adults and six grandchildren and we are active participating grandparents in our childrens life and our grandchildren.

We are master gardeners or at least we have been classified as such and my wife and I have been urban homesteaders in North Las Vegas for fifteen years, gardening in the hostile desert heat, achieving the ability to grow our fruits, herbs and vegetables successfully and unsuccessfully for fifteen years reducing our dependency by seventy percent on grocery stores, as far as depending on produce.

We are actively looking for land, about ten to one hundred acres so we can live TOTALLY FREE from the grid using alternative sources of energy and to live in complete harmony with the land and eat using modern mechanize equipment to make our homesteading as easy as possible, with the modern conveinences as possible , for I am sixty eight and my young queen is a few years younger and we do not want a hard struggle homesteading at our senior age.

We are looking to connect with like minded homesteaders who want and are living in a homesteading environment because we realize we can not do this alone and will need help and we also want to share our gifts and talents that our Heavenly Father blessed us with.

My wife is a publish author of seven childrens books that can be brought on Amazon, Boarders Book Store and many other platforms and location in seven other countries, she is also a Certified Master Herbalist who has saved my physical life twice by the use of herbs, our childrens and their childrens lives, and those of her sisters and brothers and many others.

We have a website where our products can be purchased called” Herbal Triage” and a brick and mortar herbal store located in Vegas called Herbal Triage and my wife and daughter have their YouTube channel called, ” Epicurean and the Herbalist, and my wife and I have two channels, one called” Our Back2 Eden Urban Homestead” and our second YouTube channel we just recently launched called” Genesis2 Revelation Epic Explorations, (G2ree) for short and I am adding fresh content to both channels and while still learning how to edit at sixty eight years of age.

I am a Biology Major and my minor was in Horticulture but all my hands on knowledge was the experience on my grandmothers farm and my wife is a native of Las Vegas who was raised in a farm environment also so when I asked her to marry me fifteen years ago it was a perfect match in our live and joy of growing our own food and wanting animals.

I absolutely love all the sciences , photography, videography, computers  and engineering subjects, and I can do carpentry, minor electrical work, Plumming, manufacture systems to work as I need to, and I want to learn how to Weld and dress wild game and raised animals.

I am accustomed to hard work and finishing the work I started, my wife and I are of the same work ethic.

We look at YouTube ninety percent of the time, Danny & Wanda from Deepsouth Homestead, Billy from Permaculture Homestead, Paul Gautschi in Back to Eden or Learn2 Survive Gardening, Joe Lamp`l in Growing A Greener World, Garden Like A Viking, David The Good, Doug and Stacy and many other homesteading programs to enhance the skills we learned from our ancestors before us with recent information and gardening skills from many other gardeners.

We look forward to chatting and making friends and  Alliances with many of you who are now joining the Freesteaders Platform, so please feel free to reach out to us also for any information that we can share from you.

It gives us great pleasure to be a member of this group and we thank everyone involved who has taken the courage of giving homesteaders everywhere a platform to collaborate and exchange their ideals, thoughts, services and bartering capabilities.

Although we are grateful to being able to decimate our videos on YouTube we realize that the Arifical Intelligence, ( A.I ), Algorithm is set up to keep people from speaking freely and discussing certain sensitive information on it’s platform and will either remove content or completely remove videos or terminate YouTube Accounts as the Department of Defense
