Wheaton began his career as a software engineer and continues to lend his knowledge and expertise to those needing help with software or programming.

[5]

In the spring of 2012, Wheaton brought Sepp Holzer to the USA to collaborate on a permaculture site in Dayton, Montana.[6] Since then, Permies.com have attracted notable personalities such as Geoff Lawton, Toby Hemenway, as well as rocket mass heater developers Ernie and Erica Wisner, medical herbalist Michael Pilarski, and others who explore a wide range of eclectic permaculture topics. Wheaton's self-published articles are informal in tone and have been compared to the writings of Masanobu Fukuoka.[7] Wheaton produced audio interviews with leading figures in the permaculture movement and educational podcasts on permaculture. Since 2008, Wheaton has posted his instructional permaculture videos on YouTube, discussing topics like organic horticulture, rocket mass heaters, and colony collapse disorder, as well as interviews with Sepp Holzer and other leaders of the permaculture field. As of January 4, 2013, Wheaton's YouTube videos have been viewed 6,817,381 times, and his channel has 18,190 subscribers.[8]
