About Dan Antonioli

dan_portraitDan is the third generation of his family to work in construction. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather, father and stepfather, all of whom were contractors and builders, he began working as a union carpenter for two years after high school before heading off to college. While earning a B.A. in Liberal Arts and a Masters in Psychology, he spent summers working in carpentry, giving him a life-long appreciation for craftsmanship, as well as an eye-opening view of the detrimental impacts of mainstream construction practices. As a passionate environmentalist, sustainability quickly became a core motivator in all aspects of his business, and he began to seek holistic and effective solutions by considering alternative and “green” building materials, energy efficiency, and the long-term viability of the structures he was building. By the time the green building movement took off in the late 90’s, Dan was already fully on-board.

Over the years, Dan has worked  for solar and home-performance energy companies, a strawbale-design building firm, green collar job training, and has founded two green communities: 611 Ecovillage and Laytonville Ecovillage. Today, with 25 years of building experience to his name (20 of which are in green building alone), he is a licensed general contractor and green building consultant who walks the talk. For Dan, the concept of “Going Green” extends far beyond responsible construction. Rather, he sees green building as a part of a greater, long-term paradigm shift that is currently gaining momentum, irrespective of the swinging pendulum of politics and trends. He enjoys sharing his extensive knowledge with a pragmatic and solution-oriented approach.

Water Conservation News Flash

Help fend off the drought and distinguish your business and/or property as a water conserving operation! Now is a good time to inspect all plumbing fixtures and appliances. All new toilets sold in California use only 1.28 gallons per flush. Why not upgrade now? If you don’t have the budget for it, make sure that the toilet flapper is properly sealed so that you don’t have a slow trickle leak running 24/7 and that wastes thousands of gallons of water.
