Many new followers, so an introduction:

By day, I'm a cardiovascular scientist at AstraZeneca.

I also own & operate a permaculture farm. Since '21, we've planted chestnut, pawpaw, & more. This year we began silvopasture rotational grazing.

I'm an avid reader, especially Camus!

Big Landscaping has boomers in such an ironclad chokehold, I tried explaining to my mom that it's actually better for nature not to rake the leaves and she looked at me like I was trying to tell her fairies are real

"Do not bow down before anything that cannot give you life. And if you have ever fallen, get back up."

Truly the Pope for our times.

Today idols arise and demand our worship: success at any cost, money, an obsession with appearance, popularity, or the unrestrained pursuit of pleasure. Sometimes, in order to win the approval of others, we may go so far as to lie, betray, or humiliate someone on social media. Do not bow down before anything that cannot give you life. And if you have ever fallen, get back up. Do not allow anything or anyone to take away the freedom God has given you. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

Foul shots remain the most underrated aspect of basketball. They straight up win you games.

Every team not shooting 75%+ should be ashamed.

Every night after dinner, we go out as a family and do the evening farm chores. While working, we talk about our days, life, the farm, and even run around or play with the water hose.

I'm certainly not the richest man, but I am the wealthiest
