Good morning from Sunny Southern California

Hello All,
I am Matt,

I work as an environmental engineer working for the Military Defense Conglomerate, cleaning up environmental messes that the US government has made of the past 50+ years.

When I get done with that 9-5 bunch of fun, I live and help out on the new family vineyard/winery in the outskirts of the San Diego urban sprawl. *We opened in 2012, when my eyes were opened to a new reality, that the dreams of working for 30 years, then retiring, were just not accurate.

I hope to transition in the next 5 years (or sooner) from working as a government janitor, to a successful winemaker/soap/craft/herbalist/etc.

very respectfully and thank you.

Howdy Matt, Welcome to permies! I see you have dug right in with helping Gilbert Fritz with his Denver sight. Thanks.
