I'm an artist, designer and builder that helps people bring their ideas to life.
I first learned of Earthships and Michael Reynolds in 2007. Years later my now wife and I would stay in one. It was 8 degrees outside and perfectly comfortable inside with passive thermal regulation. I was hooked.
Since then we've built aquaponics systems, an earthbag and cob hardscape, a mini cob pizza oven, and have done a lot of composting on the land we steward in Ventura county. In 2023 we got to bring our kids to a Mojave Center family workshop and would like to build a home ourselves from the Earth.
I have followed Sasha Rabin's work with Quail Springs for a few years, and after the fires in early 2025 she posted asking for someone to make a directory for natural builders.
Earth.dev is my contribution to the community of educators and elders whose shoulders we stand on. Bringing this information to as many people around the world as possible. Reclaiming our right as free people of the Earth to shelter, protect and nurture ourself with the soil.
