By trade I was a legal recruiter from NYC who relocated to Asheville/Western North Carolina in 2014. I have spent, and continue to spend the vast majority of my time since 2019 crafting the landscape you see before you -- all without any machinery, just my hands, shovel, weed whacker, and a few chainsaws. Just about every boulder you see was literally underground just waiting to be reborn with some digging and clearing.
