Off-grid stays. Built by local crews.

My mother is Trinidadian. The Caribbean isn't a market I studied. It's family.

At Hammond Hill we built Canada's first tiny home village, the first solar-powered Jupe Pods in the country and yurts. It all runs on off-grid solar, rainwater and greywater recirculation year-round. We went from bare land to open in four months, then rebuilt in four more after a derecho took down 5,000 trees.

That's what I bring to the islands. Small, green places to stay that make their own power and water, built by local people I train to build and run them. Most islands pay some of the highest power prices anywhere, so every kilowatt you make yourself is money you keep.

I've done this outside Canada before. I co-developed and taught Daydream to Reality with Dr. Bruce Firestone, a one-week course in Mérida, Mexico, on finding, financing and building a getaway that pays for itself.

I teach in English and understand some French and Spanish. On the French and Spanish-speaking islands I work with a local co-facilitator.
