About

American content creator and entrepreneur best known for his homesteading brand and digital platform, Sow the Land. He uses his platform to showcase his and his family's journey of operating a working, sustainable farm with over 290,000 subscribers. Together, they raise pastured poultry and pork, create DIY farm build plans, and teach online classes while following their lifestyle motto of "grow food, build stuff." 

Before Fame

Prior to his shift toward homesteading, he worked in an office job as a drafter. In 2010, he was diagnosed with cancer, and the experience served as a "wake-up call" to make major life changes. He and his family sold the majority of their belongings in 2016 and left their home in southern California to relocate to the mountains of North Carolina and launch their homestead.  

Trivia

His website offers products for sale such as pastured poultry & pork, hot sauce, DIY build plans, and online workshops. In addition to selling most of their belongings, he and his family also adopted a debt-free existence and shifted down to only one shared vehicle as part of their lifestyle transition.

Family Life

He and his wife Lorraine share one daughter together, whom they homeschool.
