After starting his career as a struggling musician/waiter, Rob has been in construction since 2000 when he joined a company in California building straw bale homes, working as a laborer. Since then, he has worked as a carpenter in many different areas of specialty – running kitchen remodels in Oregon, framing banks, and most recently installing cabinets and trim in new construction in New York. Although much of his experience is in “traditional” construction, he brings passion and interest to building science concepts. He is a proud dad, engaged to his sweetheart of 35 years, and spends his free time with his family, writing/recording music, and playing multiple musical instruments.
