Private
I am a hands-on livestock and land manager with over 45 years of animal experience, 30 years in regenerative agriculture, and 20+ years of operational leadership across farms and ranches internationally. I am seeking a meaningful ranch or farm role, including seasonal or project-based positions in the western United States, though I am willing to relocate for the right challenge.
For the near term, I am looking for solid work with clear expectations, defined authority, and a professional environment built on mutual respect. I am especially drawn to remote or rugged operations where independence, competence, and sound decision-making are valued.
Livestock & Animal Experience
I have extensive experience with:
- Horses (riding, groundwork, harness exposure)
- Goats (herd management, breeding planning, rotational systems)
- Poultry (egg production, compost integration, breed selection)
- Pigs and working dogs
Additional exposure to cattle and sheep.
I prioritize calm communication, safety, and building trust with animals.
Equipment & Practical Skills
- Tractor and skid steer operation
- Chainsaw and chipper operation
- Class 7 truck (limited air brake experience)
- Fencing systems (portable)
Land Management Experience
- Market gardening: crop planning, guild-based planting, soil preparation, companion planting, and harvest
- Rotational grazing, pasture recovery, and livestock integration
- Orchard rehabilitation and fruit tree restoration
- Compost system design and implementation
- Habitat development and land clearing
I have managed mixed-species operations and underdeveloped systems, organizing them into structured, productive, and regenerative models that continue to support both animals and land health over time.
Leadership & Operational Background
In addition to agricultural management, I bring 25 years of international leadership experience managing retreats, structured programs, and teams. This has strengthened my organizational skills, communication abilities, and ability to maintain professionalism in diverse environments.
Regenerative Focus
My work centers on designing self-sustaining systems that integrate animals intelligently to support productivity, land health, and livestock welfare. Key areas include:
- Designing self-sustaining systems integrating animals and crops
- Soil building through compost, rotational grazing, rainwater and groundwater management, and multi-species ground cover to stabilize and enrich the soil
- Chemical-free food production and long-term land stewardship
- Improving land and animal health simultaneously
Work Style & Strengths
I thrive in environments requiring independence, resilience, and clear thinking. Physically fit, drug-free, and steady under pressure, I perform best when trusted to execute agreed-upon objectives within a clearly defined framework.
I am particularly effective at:
- Taking over underperforming or transitional operations
- Designing practical regenerative systems
- Managing livestock health with close observation
- Executing start-to-finish land projects
What I Am Looking For
Seasonal or defined-term roles (3–6 months), with potential for extension if mutually aligned:
- Ranch or farm management
- Livestock management
- Caretaking roles
- Off-grid or remote operations
- Housing included
- Challenging, meaningful work with clear boundaries
I am enthusiastic about adventurous environments — including rugged, remote, or wildlife-dense settings — provided the working relationship is professional and respectful.
If you are seeking a capable, independent operator who can manage livestock and land systems with both practical skill and long-term thinking, I welcome a conversation.
