Build It Green! Staff
 Justin is the founder and Director of Build It Green. He's overseen its development from the beginning, having managed the 2 deconstruction projects for the Durst Organization that generated the materials required to launch BIG!NYC. |
 Matt is the fix-it guru of Build It Green! NYC. If we have any mechanical problems in the warehouse, we know who to call. Matt works on a seasonal basis for BIG!NYC, in between leading South American housing construction projects for Habitat For Humanity and Global village. |
 Lucy is Justin's feisty Jack Russell. She works hard to keep mice and small children in line at Build It Green! NYC, and can often be seen in her native habitat, the paint room, chasing anything that moves. Her favorite pastimes are eating, sleeping, and tearing apart stuffed animals. |
 Harvey is our Vocational Counselor, handling affairs in our ongoing partnership with the Consortium for Worker Education (CWE), among other things. |
 Forrest is our Donations Coordinator and Event Planner, and has been with BIG!NYC since its inception. He initially helped unload trucks at our temporary warehouse and put together our first shelves in the dark & subzero conditions. |
 Nate is the IT God here at BIG!NYC. He has a degree in Music from Boston University and is currently studying physics and calculus towards a second degree in engineering. Nate loves building, and working on just about any projects he can get his hands on. |
 Ellis is our Adaptable Resource Technician, specializing in everything. Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Ellis recently graduated from Bard College with a “hybrid degree” in Creative Writing and Literature. |
 Max spearheads the Deconstruction program at Build It Green, and is our most fashionable staff member. The recurring scene of perfectly good building materials crushed at the bottom of a dumpster led him here, and he’s never looked back. |
 Dylan is our Warehouse Manager, though he’s also our jack-of-all-trades, having done basically every job imaginable. He oversees all marketing; builds anything we need, quickly; and pretty much does anything else you can think of at Build It Green. |
 Cate is the driving force behind Build It Green. Originally from Pensacola, Florida, she recently graduated from the Massachusetts College for Art in Boston, specializing in Sculpture and Filmmaking. Cate’s very prolific. |
 Karen discovered Build It Green!NYC in 2007 while leading bicycle tours that showcased Western Queens waterfront parks as part of her job as Catalyst Coordinator for Partnerships for Parks. |
 Jaclyn (also known as Jack) joined Build It Green!NYC in June after working for our sister non-profit, Solar One. |
