About

I'm an Alabama-born, Irish-shaped fella with decades of bowhunting and outdoor naturalist experience. I have a background in Languages, Software, Environmental Science, and Geospatial Sciences. I graduated from Auburn University in 2009. I've lived in Alabama, Thailand (Phang Nga), South Korea (Jeju-do), Switzerland, and Ireland. The company was built to help reconnect people with the natural heritage of their area; In my case, I'm most familiar with the deep South and rural Ireland. I hope you find the applications and products useful and help you engage with the natural world around you.

Goals

We build products that promote sustainable land use, conservation, outdoor community, natural heritage, and connection with the land.

i

Sustainable land use

The land holds what we love most. Treat it with care. We are meant to be its protectors.

ii

Conservation

Give the wildlife and flora around us real protection, so we can still enjoy them for generations to come.

iii

Outdoor community

Foster time together in the great outdoors. The applications should be bridges and connectors, not distractions.

iv

Natural heritage

Remember how the land has provided for us. Reconnect with those ways, respect it, and treat it right while we take what it gives.

v

Connection with the land

In busy lives, make room to remember where we are supposed to be: outside, in fresh air, with the wild. These tools exist only to get you there.
