Jeremiah Bowles

Hello, I’m Jeremiah Bowles in Kansas City. I’m an MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) engineer and more specifically a design technology specialist in GIS, Civil 3D, and BIM (Building Information Modeling). I’ve been helping permaculture designers put together high fidelity visuals for premier clients by creating 3d infrastructure models of; potential ponds, damns, and infrastructure in context to their existing buildings. I first got involved with forestry in high school 1993 when I worked with the Department of Soil Conservation. I spent a lot of time entering range site surveys into early day GIS systems that were being built to index and categorize our soils, plant and ecology diversity and water conservation district information. I've been a on again off again organic hobby famers since since 2004 and famer since I was a child working my moms version of a food forest (1980-2000). We lived off of our food forest, stored food (Canning) over the winter and worked in and ran our church's welfare farm. I've had to unlearn many conventional farming techniques and build on other lessons in permaculture based on real world observation. I am excited to learn and collaborate with you all. I'm anxious to learn about healthier eating and fermented / preserving foods.
My Masters is in Engineering in Project / Construction Management.
