About

Hello, I'm Shea.

I'm a technologist, and I like applying technology in interesting ways. I'm also fascinated by plants as a sustainable way to produce much of what people need to live, and I've been baffled by how little technology has made it into growing them. I work in propagation at one of the largest production ornamental nurseries in Arkansas, and I'm trying to change that.

Part of it is personal. I wanted to learn to take care of plants so I could be more self-sufficient. Most people aren't going to devote their lives to that, and that's fine. They have other careers, families, plenty going on. An off-grid homestead is a lot of work. But if someone wants to grow more of their own, I think technology can be the bridge that makes it easier and more convenient. Homesteading isn't for everybody, but I want growing to be.
