Minnesota based builder of high-performance homes and cabins.

I spent more than twenty years as a studio potter before moving into homebuilding. I had wanted to design and build houses for a long time, and in 2018 I built my own cabin and studio on the North Shore of Lake Superior.

I’m drawn to the whole process of making a building: the design, the planning, the sequencing, the details, and the construction itself.

I’m especially interested in affordable housing, low carbon construction, local materials, ultra energy efficient construction strategies, and homes and cabins designed for Minnesota’s landscape and climate.
