Scott Ishihara

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATOR (INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR)

Scott was born in Australia to American parents, which has given him the gift of dual citizenship. Scott grew up in rural northern California and drove a tractor in the pear orchards as a summer job. He was frequently camping and fishing in the Sierra Nevada mountains with his family during his childhood. He attended UCLA and earned a degree in Communication Studies, and then helped his partner Lauri run her healing arts studio for 5 years. Scott’s interest and passion in giving back to the land and his community through stewardship and conservation has been steadily growing since moving to New Mexico. He is currently experimenting with regenerative and sustainable land practices on two acres in the small community of Chupadero, where he also serves as the treasurer on the acequia commission.
