In addition to a long list of building projects Brian has worked at Windhorse Farm and Sustainable Forest in Nova Scotia, and is currently building a retreat cabin while serving as handy man at Summer Soul Farm on Hornby Island. He loves sea kayaking, biking, hiking, gardening. Brings a calm kindness and plenty of strength and stamina!

Adventures have included managing coastal economic development loan funds, work with a federation of Chilean seaweed cooperatives and the last 15 years as founder of Climate Smart- a unique blend of training, software, and certification to assist small and medium-sized businesses in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. Now shifting from a focus on climate mitigation to nature-based solutions returning to better understand, be around and promote seaweed and it's role in climate resilience, ocean health, food security, coastal community wonder and well-being!
