OTHER (ARCHITECTURE….AND BEYOND.)

I have been involved with a number of unique projects and companies over the years. On this page you will see bicycles designed to carry cargo, power small machines, and empower entrepreneurs in developing countries to create small businesses. You will see transitional shelters, deployed by the thousands after the 2015 Nepal earthquake. You will see prefabricated homes, built to help people rebuild their lives and villages. You will see a composting system that increased organic compost production 6 fold. And finally, you will see a bike rack built to empower a wheelchair user to recreate independently. I have a passion to leave the world a little better than I found it. The projects on this page are a little taste of that work.
