Cape Design Build

I first pushed a broom on a residential construction site in Dennis, MA when I was 12 years old. At 19 years old I installed my first roof. Thinking about how water moves and migrates has proven to be an invaluable asset in my construction education. At 21 I started my own roofing company, which naturally led to sidewall installation, which naturally led to exterior trim work & windows, then onto deck building and framing, then whole house construction. I am now a master builder with a general contractor’s license. Along the way I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Massachusetts – Amherst. After completing a building envelope and analyst training course from BPI (Building Performance Institute) I worked for 3+ years as a construction field supervisor. I have studied principles of permaculture, alternative energy and ecological design at the global ecovillages of Findhorn in Scotland, Plum Village in France and Auroville in India. Recently I completed a course in Historic Preservation. My heart lives and works on Cape Cod.
