My career in the building trades started in high school in my hometown of Bristol, VT. For twenty-odd years I wore a belt as a frame-to-finish carpenter (with a couple trips around the world and a college degree in Sustainable Agriculture thrown in there for good measure). I began swinging a hammer for Silver Maple Construction in 2012 and five years later I began installing AeroBarrier and also received BPI certifications as a Building Analyst and Envelope Professional. Hundreds and hundreds of blower door tests later I started my own company, Green Mountain Enclosure Consulting llc where I keep busy as a building envelope consultant and certified Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) provider, offering services including: design review; specification writing assistance; residential and commercial whole-building airtightness testing; qualitative thermal imaging; on-site progress testing and field verifications; envelope failure forensics; existing building envelope assessments; and building science teaching and presentations. I’m a voting member of ASTM Committee E06 and am very happy to say that I also serve on the Board of Directors for the Vermont Green Building Network. I play the banjo sometimes, and hunt whenever I can.
