Biography
Long story, but I’ll try to be brief: I always enjoyed doing things in beautiful natural places. First, I learned to build all wooden timber frames in British Colombia. The second push towards involvement came when I stayed with a sustainable living community in Costa Rica for a summer. I helped construct buildings using all natural materials – timber frame structures from locally and sustainably-harvested teak, wattle and daub infill, and lime wash finish. I can’t miss the opportunity to mention the renewable energy methane bio-digester we installed for cooking gas - that was fun. This coincided with my educational focus in the AEC industry. Luckily my university made a strong effort to teachthe students in my program sustainable design. It all just came together.
