Introduction	I am an aging builder who is keenly interested in all things to do with building. I have spent my career working with earth, wood, stone, ceramics, landscaping, gardening, and remodeling among other things. As remodeler I have learned plumbing, wiring and heating. As part of working on historical renovations I have learned the secret life of buildings, how they were built at specific times in history, with the materials at hand, using the tools available. Through it all, I have been interested in passive solar energy and alternative building styles. The one thing I was not interested in was running a business. As a result I most always worked as a one man show, self employed, under the radar.
Interests	passive solar energy, alternative building, adobe, re use of older buildings, historical building, energy conservation, stone masonry, woodworking, and all the trades.
