On the farm
Currently in the midst of transitioning to a larger 3-acre family site, soon to be developed into silvopasture; a working forest pasture system that integrates trees, animals, and land regeneration into one cohesive operation.
Work and consulting
At the core: community-based feedback. The work is about how communities and the funders who back them can use feedback as a real tool, not a checkbox. Communities first: what are residents actually dealing with, and what do they need local leaders and funders to hear? Funders second: how do you build listening into the work, not just tack it on at the end? The core question is simple. What changes when the people with resources actually pay attention to the people they serve?
Building
RISE UP is moving from prototype into a formal application; building the infrastructure for it to function as a stable, long-term civic tool for Anderson County residents.
ParisO2S, the Pariso Roots Regenerative Farm Operating System, is in active development. The internal framework that keeps the land, the animals, and the stewardship work organized and sustainable over time.
