He brings 30 years of unique experience as a builder, consultant, trainer and realtor. Marc started his construction career in Pennsylvania fresh out of college working in most of the trades including carpentry, electrical, tile/marble, and architectural woodworking. His green building career began in Los Angeles in 1993, then moved on to Colorado, and then eventually settled in Austin to build green homes and then to join the City of Austin's Green Building Program from 1997 to 2004, as a residential specialist and manager of the program. Marc is also responsible for guiding the development of California’s residential green building program, Build It Green, which has trained thousands of builders, architects, engineers, and realtors, set the de-facto residential standards for green building in California, and certified over 125,000 green homes. He is a nationally known expert in the green building field, and has written numerous articles and made significant contributions to numerous reference books in the field. Marc graduated with a BA in Economics from Moravian College in Pennsylvania, and MBA in International Business and an MAPP in Energy & Environmental Policy from Claremont Graduate University in Southern California. Some of Marc’s professional certifications include: LEED AP (1998), CGBP (2004), GPR (2007), Cal-HERS (2008), BPI-MF (2010), NAR-GREEN (2015), and NAR-GRI (2016). He was the first co-chair of the USGBC LEED Residential Committee from 1998-2000 and served on various technical subcommittees for LEED Commercial.

He is the sole trainer for Build It Green’s CGBP and GPR designations throughout California and is one of a small handful of trainers certified to teach the National Association of REALTORS® GREEN Designation course throughout the country. Marc’s practical knowledge of design, construction, and maintenance, both standard and green, offers clients a unique perspective and service not offered by other real estate professionals. He will walk into a home with you and tell you everything good and bad about the home and rattle off prices for repairs off the top of his head and he'll probably help you out with repairs after the purchase.
