WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

At Building Culture, we believe that a more thriving world is possible through restoring our built environment. But today's Industrial-Development Complex is inherently extractive and ill-equipped to solve intricate problems or create vibrant places that foster human flourishing. Building Culture is here to change that.

America is the wealthiest, most technologically advanced society in history. Yet the habitat we’ve fashioned for ourselves over the past 100 years is excruciatingly ugly, destructive and inhuman. We’ve forgotten some of the most fundamental truths about what makes people thrive.

It’s not more touch faucets or drive-throughs.

On The Building Culture Podcast, I interview a diverse range of experts and innovators across the industry who are challenging the status quo and exploring holistic solutions to crafting a more beautiful, resilient, people-first world.

I also share my experience as Founder of Building Culture, a holistic real estate development company that specializes in walkable neighborhoods, timeless design, and durable masonry construction.

Nostalgia, technology or conventional thinking will not solve our problems. We need new solutions formed by fusing time-tested wisdom of the past with the best of modern innovation – with people at the center.

Join me on this journey to discover how we can reshape the built world for the better.
