From a very young age, Paery's learning focused on the study of perennial philosophy and how to apply any of its budding practicality to daily life. Not knowing the concepts at the time, studying topics of the practical with correspondence to nature increasingly became the norm. 

Having grown up in southern California, amidst the chaparral & rolling wooded hills, and around schools fostering a wide range of study; from herbalism, botany, scandinavian & celtic mysticism, and crafts which bloomed later into natural building, farming, permaculture & biodynamics, a pattern began to form. 

During his early 20's, with a profound calling and life-course altering process of 'returning to the self', he set out into the wilderness for forest conservation work. A return to the city life placed him in the culinary world, where natural healing modalities, super-foods, elixir-craft, and their applicable reception into event co-facilitation began. 

Over the years of furthering his studies, with the insights & remembrance of a profound calling to the art of fermentation, he works currently to inspire and reinvigorate the cultivation of heirloom and heritage grains, the nature of sourdough & its relation to ancestral nutrition, and the sharing of culinary methodology as a private chef.
