Bart Chukowski
Bart has been working with his hands since he was a young boy. At 10, his father gave him his first tool set, something that he keeps as a memento to this day. After finishing high school, he joined the Army Corps of Engineers and served all around the country providing his expertise to key military installations.
After 20 years of serving in the Army, he retired from active duty and opened his own hardware store and woodworking shop in his hometown. During his military career, he became a leading advocate for sustainable living and renewable energy, seeing these as two of the most viable options for creating a modern and efficient society.

He is regularly called upon by established architecture and engineering firms to help with designing, planning, and building several projects around the world.
