"The eyes are useless when the mind is blind..."

Hi, I'm Rowan. I'm currently a student at the university of Rhode Island earning a BS in sustainable agriculture and food systems and a masters of environmental science and management.
I'm also currently an agriculture and food systems fellow and a Social Science Institute for Research, Education, and Policy fellow at URI as well, where I work on the project Urban Foodway under the leadership of John Taylor, PhD.
Prior to this, I was an infantryman in the United States Army for 6 years from 2005 to 2011, went to school for philosophy and I also learned permaculture and cannabis horticulture while wandering Northern California for several years. I eventually bought my own land in North Central Nevada, which I have dubbed The Oasis Of Azura. Living in this desert was the initial spark that compelled me to further my education towards agroecosystem design and management.
Other than ageocology and sustainability, I train in Muay Thai and some MMA, though my passion is survivalism as a sport. It's like solving a complex yet invisible conceptual puzzle. I also hike, swim, run, and do anything to keep myself active.
