Ever since I was a kid, I have felt at home in nature. I've always felt a deep appreciation for our Mother Earth that sustains us, so generously providing us with the air, land, and water we need to live each day. 

Now, at age 61, I know full well that if we don't prioritize caring for the planet, our success in other areas is fruitless. We can find ways to prioritize protecting the environment, while creating places where our families can thrive, while we prosper financially. 

My focus with Climate Action Homes is People, Planet, and Prosperity. I am committed to helping each client find the home they love and making a positive impact while doing it. 

Other species have figured out how to live in harmony with nature. We can do it, too. These past few decades have demonstrated the cost of inaction, while also showing the incredible ingenuity and creativity of humankind.

Real estate is one of the largest investments in many people's lives. It's a powerful opportunity to invest in and create the world we want for ourselves and generations to come. We can do this!

In 1982, I graduated from the University of Colorado and started my first job as an engineer. For the next 20 years, I worked on ways to reduce the energy use of homes and commercial buildings through energy-efficient design and renewable energy. 

Long before solar panels on roofs were cost-effective, we worked to help architects and cities understand how design choices and building codes impact energy usage. I worked on the first Colorado Home Energy Rating System (HERS) in 1988, as well as other rating systems across the country. 

In 2004, I got certified as a practitioner of the US Green Building Council LEED rating system, and later helped develop guidebooks for deploying these systems in Colorado. In 2017, I was trained as a Climate Reality Leader.

In 2017, I began working as a solar designer and solar sales consultant. I was happy to finally be able to help people get solar... something I'd dreamed of for decades.
