His work has been widely influenced by indigenous plant healers from throughout the Americas, herbalist Michael Moore, and most importantly, the plants and wild places of the Sonoran desert. He founded Desert Tortoise Botanicals, a bioregional herbal product company, in Tucson, AZ in 2005 in order to bring his wildharvested plant medicines to the people of the Southwest. John is a practicing herbalist, educator, author, and forager. His first book, Southwest Foraging, was released in 2016 on Timber Press. Some of John’s current passions include delving into the various traditions of acorn processing and consumption across the globe, bringing the concepts and principles of bioregional herbalism to a wider audience, and integrating skilled and balanced movement into wilderness explorations of wild plant discovery.
