Northern & remote communities · Specialty program

Teach from the studio. Fly in once.

Flights and freight are the big cost of training in the North. So I teach most of the program from my studio and fly in once, for the part that has to be hands-on.

Housing maintenance and repair, cold-climate walls and insulation, off-grid power and water, tiny homes and small builds. Your community leads, your people are trained, and your facilitator keeps the kit and the course when I leave. The next group needs less of me.

Talk about your community

Step 1

Plan together

Your training lead sets the goal and names a local facilitator.

Step 2

Train the facilitator

Two or three remote sessions on safety, stations and running a class.

Step 3

Live classes

Short live blocks from the studio, with the kit shipped ahead by winter road, sealift or air.

Step 4

Fly-in build week

I'm on the ground for a real project. Everything taught remotely gets used.

How the remote part works

Live from the studio.

One camera on me, one on the bench, tools up close, questions answered live. Recorded modules and printed handouts go out ahead, so if the connection drops your facilitator keeps going. How a live class works →

Want this for your people?

Tell me who you're training, how many, and where. I'll tell you straight what makes sense: a cohort, a few short courses, a talk, or nothing at all. You'll hear back within one business day.

Within one business day.

A quick note

Email's the fastest way to reach me. There's no phone line on purpose, because I'm on site or in the studio most days and I'd rather give you a real answer than a rushed one. If it makes sense, we'll set up a video call.

Based in

Rockland, Eastern Ontario. I travel for the right program, and teach live from my studio anywhere.
