Our financials come through Habitat for Humanity of <br /> Durham. <br /> Commission for the Environment <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> My interest in the environment began when I took a course in college called Green Designs. <br /> Through that course, I was introduced to the writings and teachings of William McDonough. He <br /> is the world s leading environmental architect. I am thankful that I work for a#1 private home <br /> builder in the US and for the sustainable features that we incorporate into our homes. I have <br /> spent much of my adult life with the thought that environmental and economic design must be <br /> intertwined. I look forward to helping to make that happen within Orange County. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I consider myself to by an environmentalist as well as a supporter of economic development. I <br /> believe that these two issues go hand in hand. A community can not truly have economic or <br /> environmental sustainability without the health of the other. In addition, my wife and I are most <br /> likely going to be living in Orange County for the rest of our lives. Being in our late twenties/early <br /> thirties, that will hopefully mean that we will be here for the next 50+years. I would like to ensure <br /> that sound decisions are made in the short term in order to secure the long term health of our <br /> community. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 8/1/2016 10:39:12 AM Date Printed: 8/9/2016 <br />
