Biography
My wife and I built our first earthbag home in 2009. Since 2016, we've been working on our earthship-inspired earthbag house with about 3x the square footage of the first. We give regular workshops. More info is available at our website.

We just listed this event a few days ago! We're excited to be building another root cellar. As has been stated, earthbags are perfect for ground contact/underground building. Currently on sale at uber-deep discount. Come join us!

We have planned a Cob Oven Workshop Benefit at Woodson Branch Nature School on May 4th and 5th, 2024! My son goes to Woodson Branch and it is a wonderful place. This workshop will help them financially and help us build them a pizza oven for special events/fundraisers. I would normally charge at least $200 for a workshop like this but to encourage sign ups and participation, it's being offered at $90 for both days and $50 for one day. If we have at least eight people sign up (we currently have three) this workshop will move forward.

I recently finished my eBook about building our first house. It's called Building an Earthbag Round House: a Step-by-Step, Illustrated Guide. It's currently on sale for 50% off.

"In 2009, we built an earthbag round house that went on to become one of the iconic representations of the method. Over the following years, the house went viral on social media and was shared in countless articles, some, unfortunately, with incorrect information. In this heavily illustrated PDF, we finally set the record straight and share the details of the build from foundation to roof.

This 109 page interactive PDF contains 148 full-color pictures and details the entire build of our first earthbag round house. We’ve learned a lot in the 15 years since, so we also talk about our latest building techniques."

We're going back to Crestone in September (2024)! The last workshop there was amazing. The group was fantabulous and we had the opportunity to build with scoria (volcanic rock that is half the weight of dirt). We're getting that amazing opportunity again!
