At 10 years old Jaymie was sweeping floors on job sites and grew into building custom homes from the ground up with his dad and grandfather. Though a valuable skill, it also lead him to see a trap in modern society – working a job you don’t like to pay off the student debt that got you there, and to afford the house you hardly spend time in; running through life unconsciously. 

This made him dream of a better way to live, which was the basis of what has become Azhen Sanctuary, Jaymie and Shelby’s 160 acre off-grid home.
