I’m a long-time advocate and activist for sustainable living and conservation on The Costalegre. In 2000 I started an eco-tourism company in La Manzanilla, Jalisco. I founded the environmental non-profit organization Tierralegre in 2008 and began building professionally with bamboo in 2010.

Ekoa Green Community® is a culmination of my vision, skills and passion which I look forward to sharing with you!

I am a life coach, author and retired professor of environmental education from Humboldt State University in California. I began running conservation classes on The Costalegre in 2000 and have been in love with the people and the place ever since then. I have started and directed a number of NGO’s focused on conservation and community development in the U.S.

It is my dream to apply this experience to help the place and people I love the most: The Costalegre. I hope you will join us in our effort to model a sustainable and beautiful way of living for all!
