In my pursuit for personal freedom I started a business.
That business, The American Edge, outgrew this site so I made a dedicated site for it.
If you’re interested, you can find that site here.

Journey
2016
| The story starts from a shipping container in East Africa Deployed for a year behind the wire, I took to knife sharpening as a way to use my hands in an otherwise computer driven workplace and lifestyle. |  |
 | While there, I wrote my Permaculture Thesis An independent study of Permaculture and the implementation of those design principles into my homestead in New Hampshire. |
2017
| Even the best designed systems require funding to get off the ground It didn’t seem fair to implement a sustainability project on the homestead that would be a leach on family income. To be truly sustainable, the system must generate the funds it needs to survive. |  |
 | Funds generated from The American Edge are used directly to support The Applied Permaculture Project Your payments for sharp knives have alread helped fund: chickens, fencing, fruit trees, bees, hive parts, seeds, rainwater harvesting, and more. |
2018
| An awesome year of growth and discovery The rainwater harvesting project is almost in. While not fully funded, it’s well underway. That, and we did convert a portion of our field for a Three Sister Garden (corn, beans and squash) and we’re up to about 20 laying hens. Lastly, The American Edge is better equipped than ever for 2019. |  |
2019
The Year To Fully Fund The Applied Permaculture Project
The goal was to make it in 5 years. With what we know now, I think we can make it in 3.
