I started picking mushrooms in Oregon when I was a child, and by middle school, I was selling mushrooms to grocery stores. I studied mycology with David Hosford at Central Washington University, and when I graduated, I worked with Paul Stamets at Fungi Perfecti. I also worked for the USDA surveying mushroomsand creating environmental impact statements. I later started a truffle farm, which, unsurprisingly, failed. Now I am growing and cooking mushrooms.
