John has come to green building consulting through an unconventional journey, starting with a major in Physics. After a brief teaching career and an underlying search for applying his commitment to the environment with the greatest worldwide impact, John ended up practicing architecture in Baltimore, MD and a little later, in Washington, DC. It was then that the effect of architecture on the environment came roaring into view. John’s educational career at U of M architecture school and engineering school sought to take on environmental awareness culminating in volunteering to be Project Manager for the MiSo* House Project and becoming the first student in Michigan to be LEED™ Accredited Professional by the US Green Building Council [USGBC].
