Growing up in suburban Washington, DC, Andrew was drawn to his natural surroundings from an early age. From the forests of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed to the shores of the nearby Atlantic, his endeavors always led him outdoors.  Having recently graduated from Boston College with a BA in Economics and a minor in Environmental Studies, Andrew has a well-informed perspective on environmental stewardship within a consumer-based economy. During the spring of 2009, Andrew studied in Melbourne, Australia and was able to experience the natural splendors the region had to offer. This immersion experience also allowed him to observe environmental efforts from a new perspective. In his senior year, Andrew interned with BC’s Office of Sustainability and Energy Management, providing him with further insight into methods of sustainable living. Driven both by his knowledge of and passion for eco-friendly living, Andrew hopes to inspire others to incorporate the Forever Verdant philosophy into their everyday lives.

Erin has appreciated nature since a young age, and over the years this passion has evolved from collecting wormy acorns to working towards environmental conservation through the sustainable growth of our communities.  After graduating from MIT in 2005 with a BS in Mechanical/Environmental Engineering, Erin worked with a wind energy company developing utility-scale wind farms throughout the US for several years.  Seeking a change of pace, she made a cross-country move from Texas to Minnesota, and is currently pursuing a Masters degree in Engineering Management at University of Minnesota Duluth.  Living in Northeastern Minnesota is providing ample opportunities for Erin to learn more about and practice sustainable living, as well as to embrace the beauty and outdoor activities our natural environment offers.  She believes that environmental stewardship is a necessary part of achieving a Forever Verdant future for us all.
