I didn’t come to this work through trends or aesthetics. I came to it by watching how quickly basic needs became leverage and deciding my family would never be fragile again. After years in technology and systems thinking, I began applying those skills to food, finances, skills, and home life. What started as a personal effort to build stability became something others wanted to learn from.
Today, I lead Provision Planner, a self-sufficiency planning app used by families around the world, and teach thousands of people how to build independence from where they are — without panic or extremism.
