Pepper Guru Traveling the World in Search of Peppers
Learn More On Our YouTube Channel! As a young boy, I was obsessed with nature, wildlife and gardening.

My main curiosity was soil biology and it’s role in growing the healthiest plants possible. In 1994 I planted some Thai Dragon peppers in our garden and my dad would dare me to try them before he would eat them. My first encounter with a C. chinense pepper was at the age of 16. That fruity, smoky, citrusy burst, followed by an extreme heat, was unlike anything I had ever tasted in my garden before

. This new world of flavors sparked what would become a life long infatuation and set me on a quest, Traveling The World In Search of Peppers. Fast forward to present with nearly 30 years of cultivation experience, field collections abroad, trades and friendships made, the pepper community looks much different than it did back in the 1990’s. I’ve administrated some of the world’s largest cultivation forums and continue to share my passion with other pepper enthusiasts across various platforms. I now travel the world in search of my favorite pepper varieties from their region of origin. Nothing is more rewarding than hand picking peppers in each village, farm or hidden trail we discover on our adventures along the way. The people we meet and the friendships we make are what truly breathes life into our journey. The shared passion for peppers across so many different cultures may just be the key to understanding that we are all more alike than we realize.

Chilly jungle?
Observing Capsicum flexuosum in Parque Provincial Urugua-í was surreal. Cool mist, dense Atlantic forest, and wild peppers thriving where you'd least expect them. The Alto Paraná ecology is full of surprises.
