How about this:
"Paul Wheaton is the tyrannical dictator of Permies.com, the largest
permaculture forum on the web. As a certified master gardener and
permaculture designer, he's built an empire around what he calls, 'infecting brains with
permaculture'. His forums are full of rich information, and there are a number of great free resources, guides, and articles that can be found on his sister site, Richsoil.com as well.
Most recently, he has worked with
rocket mass heater experts Ernie and Erica in developing a
4 DVD set on all things rocket science, and has built a following around his
World Domination Gardening DVDs, which detail how to use
hugelkultur, swales, and natural ponds to capture and utilize
water without irrigation. His recent work with natural buildings based on
Mike Oehler's designs have resulted in the creation of the Wofati, a semi
underground natural home design.
Crowned the Duke of
Permaculture by
Geoff Lawton and the Bad Boy of Permaculture by the Occupy Monsanto movement, Paul continues to educate and inspire, and is hosting a PRI certified Permaculture Design and
Appropriate Technology course this summer at his property - dubbed Wheaton Labs - in western Montana. More information on the courses can be found
here."
Most people only want a paragraph I find, so this can be summarized and shortened a bit. We could have a full and short version on hand, depending on what the publisher needs. What photo do you prefer people use?
Currently that
rocket stove link goes to the old 4 DVD set.
