Teaching/Training
It's one thing to read a magazine article or a book to pick up home building and remodeling tips and techniques; but there's no better way than learning one-on-one and face-to-face. I present hands on trainings and educational seminars at trade shows and home shows, vocational technical schools, continuing education programs and at building material dealers. I don't claim to know it all and admit I learn as much from my audiences as they do from me, but the presentations are the best way for all of us to share our knowledge and raise the level of our craft.

JLC Live!
"The pioneering hands-on show for builders and remodelers makes its way around the country doing 4 regional shows. In 2005 I'll be leading clinics on Traditional Sidewall Shingling, Better Deck Construction, Field Calculations using the Construction Master and others.

Building Event Solutions, Inc
"I teamed up with Rick Arnold and Myron Ferguson to take our hands-on presentations to other national and regional shows. Check out www.buildingeventsolutions.com for our current schedule of events and for a list of the programs we've put together."

Energy Star Homes - Technical School Outreach Program
"Reaching the next generation of home builders before they pick up bad habits from us gray haired guys; the TSO program brings building science and better building practices into the classrooms of schools throughout Southern New England and beyond. I work with Paul Wolff of Conservation Services Group and Rick Arnold presenting introduction classes in energy efficient construction and several specialty programs like Radiant Hydronic Heating, Building with ICFs and Weathertight Window Installation. During the winter we organize multi school Learning Exchanges where students learn about several building specialties in hands-on workshops. Students also get to win tools donated by manufacturers for their schools.

The Remodeling Show
"Like JLC Live!, the Remodeling Show has become a showcase for building clinics and workshops on the expo floor. I present demonstrations of fibercement siding, roof framing, shingle siding and others.
