I find joy in working together with people who are engaged in developing healthy communities while appreciating, protecting, and regenerating our natural environment.

At GTI Energy, our team is researching emerging technologies to reduce energy consumption, improve comfort and increase the longevity of residential and commercial buildings and HVAC equipment.

I'm fortunate to have been a founder of Kibbutz Lotan and our Center for Creative Ecology - an educational environmental research, development, and demonstration institute which I led with a great team for 25 years. I love teaching, mentoring our graduates, supporting new initiatives, and maintaining a worldwide community of supporters of our mission.

My PhD research at Ben Gurion University Energy and Sustainable Materials Engineering resulted in developing an insulating construction block formed from post-harvest wheat straw residue and a clay natural binder. I'm a Green building consultant, expert on environmental education curricula, and designer/constructor of sustainable buildings and integrated systems.
