The Author - Dan Goodwin at Barn Raising in Arundel, Maine - 1975

My construction odyssey began on Independence Day, 1975, when I helped raise a historic barn in Arundel, Maine. Guided by seasoned craftsman Stacey Wentworth, the experience ignited a passion that has shaped my five-decade career. This journey has spanned the diverse landscape of American construction. From the intricate joinery of post and beam homes in Maine to the grand scale of luxury estates in Lake Tahoe, Marin County, and Silicon Valley, I’ve witnessed the artistry and ingenuity that define our built environment. And I have seen the future of passive homes.
