Professionally, he served in the Peace Corps, taught homebuilding at the Shelter Institute, built passive solar homes, worked as a licensed Social Worker (LCSW), harvested seaweed, and spent a dozen years at the Chewonki Foundation guiding their sustainability programs focused on renewable energies.
