Hi I’m Erik! You’ve found me and are taking a real close look, which may mean you are having some real building envelope struggles. If that is the case, I am sorry about that and I hope I can help. Here is brief bit about me: Approaching the end of my undergraduate studies in finance and operations in 2009 I selected Introduction to CAD and Sustainable Buildings as electives and fell in love with the concepts and technology. I stayed on at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to study Building Science and Technology as a graduate where I earned a Master’s of Science after defending my thesis “Building Integrated Aquaculture.” My first work out of college focused on Building Information Modeling, Construction Scheduling, and the evaluation of cost-impacts caused by scheduling delays during construction. In 2013, I began working in the field full-time for Thompson & Lichtner performing Building Envelope Testing, Assessment, and Installation Inspection. In 2015, I moved into a Project Management role for CBI where I was able to apply my experience in the field to improve their Building Envelope Commissioning processes, contribute to the Design/Review of Building Envelope Systems used in nine-figure construction projects, and execute full Building Envelope Restoration projects for private and public entities. In 2019, I earned my Registered Roofing Consultant (RRC) credentials from the International Institute of Building Envelope Consultants (IIBEC). I started NEWT at the end of 2021 so I could continue doing what I love to do. I am a building nerd and I enjoy the puzzle of trying to understand why/where the building envelope failed and what we can do about it. NEWT is a passion project for me to pursue my calling and I am grateful that I can use it to help people understand and take better care of their buildings.
