He walked off the floor for an unpaid farming apprenticeship, spent a decade building Be Here Farm & Nature into a world-class hospitality dream on 300 acres of Napa-Sonoma mountaintop, and watched it burn to the ground in the 2020 wildfires two days after it finally penciled. What he found in the ashes is the heart of this conversation: that biodynamic farming is less a technique than a practice occurring inside the person — rhythm over force, presence over striving, a life tended the way you’d tend living soil. He mistook the vehicle for the dream once. The dream was always nature, and the ground beneath his feet.
