Hello there! My name is David and I am a natural builder. I build structures for people out of materials such as straw, earth, wood and stone. I enjoy conversation, cooking and sharing food, playing guitar and carving spoons :) I'm always happy to share any of these things and I love meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My partner and I designed and built a Cob House in ecuador that cost less than $500.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be a teacher actually, in a secondary school, so yeah teaching, learning and sharing are fundamental to my core values. So in addition to the building stuff I can speak a fair bit of spanish, play an amount of guitar, oh and did I tell you I'm learning to carve spoons! That is something we could do :) All we need is a small amount of green wood, and a chopping block, I travel with my tools :)
