He brings a fearless passion for sustainable building and a "do-whatever-it-takes" mentality.  He is passionate about teaching and running sustainable building workshops for First Nations Communities. 

The Tloh Kin project over the summer of 2007 sparked an interest in sustainable building within Navajo communities. This was done by Terry and the Tloh Kin Project hosting a ten day straw-bale building workshop.

The result were over 100 workshop attendee's, a straw-bale home on the Navajo reservation and the knowledge of local peoples that there are sustainable alternatives to home building. This energy has remained strong and gained momentum for the upcoming workshops for the summer of 2008.
