One member of the FutureSense family is leaving to follow his passion. Matt Finkelstein has just been accepted into the apprenticeship program at the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Farming Systems at UC Santa Cruz. After the six month intensive program beginning in April 2010, Matt will receive his certification in Ecological Horticulture.
Matt has long been involved in social and environmental activism in the area of sustainable organic farming with San Diego Roots (www.sandiegoroots.org) - a non-profit organization working to educate, cultivate, and empower sustainable food communities in San Diego. From farm to fork, they focus awareness and work toward a more ecologically sound, economically viable and socially just food system in San Diego. Most recently, he has contributed to this growing non-profit organization by serving on the Board of Directors, as a project coordinator, and educator speaking to a wide-range of organizations.
Kyle Jaimerena has worked side by side with Matt in order to provide seamless coverage to our clients as Matt transitions out of FutureSense. Matt will continue to make contributions to the team on an as needed basis.
While we will miss his full-time contributions, we are extremely proud of Matt and his commitment to this socially and culturally important endeavor. We are expecting great things from this accomplished member of the team!
