Curriculum Vitae Bachelors degree in Economics, University of New Hampshire 1982 Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer NKBA NY Metro Board of Directors Chapter Secretary Member Deming Institute of Quality Control Member United States Green Builders Council Currently, I am pursuing a certificate in Permaculture Design. Permaculture integrates insights from ecology, organic farming, architecture, forestry and economics into a sustainable system. I speak fluent Spanish. (This comes in real handy.) I have 25 years experience in residential construction including framing, post and beam, renovating, cabinetry, millwork and project management. I love old houses and I am fascinated by the concept of shelter; the cultural, social, mechanical and technical history of the house and it’s systems. I am fully qualified to set up a field kitchen, site an outhouse, restore historic moldings or make a $100,000 dream kitchen. And anything in between. I live in Centerport with my wife Celeste, three dogs and two very large cats.
