About the Author

Bob is neither a sustainability professional or a snake-eating survival guy.  He has learned from hands on experience along with extensive study and like-minded friends.  He retired from a high-tech career in 2007 and almost immediately started on the resilience track.  He is a certified NRA instructor and former match director for IDPA and 3-Gun competitive shooting.  He obtained his Ham radio license and EMT certification.  He has done everything from outdoor boilers and solar power to homesteading with a 7,000 sq ft garden and livestock that includes chickens, pigs, and sheep.  He has established a network of like-minded family and friends to help support this endeavor.
