Points of Interest

The Peril of Log Building

You might think that a book written in 2012 would be outdated, and some of it is. But most of it is still current because the science of mass wood assemblies has not changed. The book is focused on the advantages of mass wood in light of unresolved building thermal energy conservation.

2012 NHHBA Associate Member of the Year

In 2012, Rob along with three esteemed peers was awarded Associate Member of the Year by the New Hampshire Home Builders Association.

Harvest Homes Delivery in NH

In 2017, Rob joined the Harvest Homes team as a Regional Sales Manager covering VT-NH-ME-MA-RI. The product was exceptional thanks to the quality of materials and people involved. Harvest Homes is the epitome of the benefit of off-site construction methods.

2007 IS-Log Commitee

It was an honor to lead the IS-Log Committee in its role to create and publish the first ICC Standard on log building. The three year effort was a successful blending of the philosophies of both handcrafted and milled log builders and the needs of the building authorities who must approve the projects.

Wood Technologies

Since 1975, Rob’s focus has been on residential construction. The love of log building bloomed while working at Colorado Log Homes in 1977. Those days of a double tongue-and-groove Engelmann Spruce 6x6 log expanded tremendously into technical support for the industry, especially NAHB’s Log & Timber Homes Council. As President of the International Mass Timber Alliance, Rob is working to remedy the misunderstanding of how mass wood (see The Peril of Log Building) effectively conserves heating/cooling energy.
