I have spent my entire career in home improvement, focusing on reducing a home's impact on the environment.  After studying nascent "Green Building" techniques in college, I went on to start a contracting business working on energy-efficient residential remodels.

​

As the climate crisis worsened, I realized that simply reducing emissions from a home was not enough; emissions needed to be eliminated entirely.  Luckily, the concept of whole-home electrification has emerged as a solution.  Renewable electricity production is the fastest-growing segment of our energy matrix, so it makes sense that we try to use more electricity in our lives.  The reduced cost of solar electricity, combined with technological innovations in heat pumps, meant that any existing home could become a net zero energy home, a description previously reserved only for high-end custom homes.
