While standing in a dumpster full of drywall in 1996 (drywall I had installed in 1995), I had an epiphany. We couldn't have survived as a species for 60 or so thousand years if we always behaved in this way. The rest of my life (archaeology degree to discover how we used to build and behave) has been spent searching for ways to bring back ancient wisdoms while leveraging modern technologies. Having worked in construction or the design and green building research sectors since 2005, I've built a strong understanding to some of the answers I began seeking in 1996. Now with all these years and diverse experiences behind me I work with others to do their own searching for how to better our buildings, our businesses, and our lives.
