HISTORY
CHAINSAWING AND CARPENTRY

I started chainsawing firewood and brush clearing at age 12, and worked for 2 different construction companies during high-school building houses from the ground up, mostly working on foundations, framing, and roofing.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER

I worked for clients such as I.B.M., Xerox Corp., Mobile Corp. and many others doing hydrogeology, soil and groundwater sampling, and writing reports. I did a lot of industrial plumbing as well.
LANDSCAPING AND CARPENTRY
1994-2004
I lived in Hawaii for these 10 years, built my first solar system, and spent my time mostly propagating exotic fruit trees and exotic ornamental plants. I did lots of landscaping (machete and chainsaw mostly) and carpentry as well.
SOLAR AND OTHER
2005-present
I've designed and built more solar systems, have lived off-grid, on solar for 22 years now. I've done land management, carpentry, plumbing work. Most recently I completed a mold remediation project and worked on flood prevention to prevent future mold issues. I like to optimize systems as well as find and implement permanent solutions.
