Story Behind The Book
I was frustrated by the same Green advice with that snarky attitude that “if you don’t do it my way the world will implode and it will all be your fault”. So I decided to create a book, consulting firm and consumer website that provides straight forward, practical ideas without a lot of guilt. I should know, too. Currently I hold a number of high profile positions within the areas of green and healthy buildings. I am the Founder and President of Healthy Homes, a Green/Healthy Building consultancy firm in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. I am also President of the Treysta Group, LLC, a company dedicated to green business development and certification. Finally, I am Director of the Green Built Home Program, a program of the Wisconsin Environmental Initiate that supports voluntary Green Building programs for single and multi-family homes. For the NAHB, I assisted in their rollout of the National Green Certification program as a member of their local homebuilder association working group and I'm recognized by the NAHB Research Center in Washington, D.C., as a trainer for the program.
