Brian

I retired from my career as a programmer a few years ago. With Cynthia, we have created the Garnet School, a place designed to show the things we’ve learned building our homestead over the past 15 years.

If you’re looking for certifications or some other acknowledgments from the state or other organizations, you’re not gonna find it here. Rather, the proof, as they say, is in the pudding. I’ve built and sold a couple companies, written a bunch of books, and travelled the world speaking on various technical topics. Now I’ve settled down to start this new venture.

If you want to learn from our successes and failures, then come on out.

    Garnet School 456 Critchett Rd, Candia, NH, United States
