Josh Krueger
Josh is a native of the heartland prairie who now resides in the Black Hills of South Dakota. While attaining a Bachelor of Science in Biology from South Dakota State University and working as a builder, Josh discovered that he was passionate about the health of our ecology. Ten years of job-site experience in new construction and remodelling experience have left him wondering how long we will continue global consumption while creating spaces that could better fulfill our senses.
On the horizon, Josh sees a paradigm shift that will encompass our culture and bring about our greatest achievements as we reintegrate with natural forces while becoming less dependent on unsustainable activities. Josh is currently focused on how we can reinvent the house as an ecologically beneficial component of our world.
