MARK MAZZIOTTI
 Mark Mazziotti is a natural builder trapped in a graphic designer's body. He has worked for Public Media Center in San Francisco for 14 years. But these days he's as likely to be found in the mud as at a computer. He apprenticed with Michael Smith and Darryl Berlin at Emerald Earth and has experience working with straw bale, cob and earth plasters. Mark wants to prodigiously thank Kaki Hunter and Doni Kiffmeyer for writing the book on earthbag building without which the workshop in Dennilton might not have gone so well.

Nick continues to volunteer time toward site planning and designing with eco-architect Joseph Kennedy on Youth With A Vision's Child Support Center.
