A senior instructor at Big Barn Nature Camp, he has spent the past three years learning from the farm as much as teaching on it. He didn’t arrive expecting to change—but nature worked on him quietly.
Days spent among animals, open fields, and children softened something within him. The edges grew smoother. Patience replaced urgency. His voice slowed, and his teaching became gentler.
Here, teaching nature is less about instruction and more about sharing stories, small observations, and moments of attention.
This is Humans of the Barn—stories of people shaped by the place they call work.
