American College of the Building Arts

I hope everything works out.

My second kid was going to a college that was a very small, rather new school called the American College of the Building Arts.

It's awesome.

It's all about restoration and saving history, is where they kinda come from.

And then so I was kind of in that area, wandering around, looking for what was next.

And I stumbled across the American College of the Building Arts website.

And I went to an open house and I was like, whoa, this is, this is insane.

And stayed.

Yeah.

Got an associate's degree at a school called the American College of the Building Arts down in South Carolina.

Went and worked as a blacksmith professionally in Colorado for a little while.

Uh, found I really enjoy blacksmithing, but I don't enjoy the production side of blacksmithing.

I have worked over the years also as I'm kind of a I'm a different kind of architect, I, I sort of dabble in the educational realm as well.

And that's really was the motivation behind starting the nonprofit a few years ago, but I have led community building, educational building workshops over the years as well, both in partnership with the American College of Building Arts, but also independently through our organization.

And really just as a way to promote materials and educate about them.

People can see them and feel them and build with them and see how easy it is.
