| During the 2008 recession, Vinnie returned home to Wisconsin. He worked at Central Waters Brewing Company and Northwind Renewable Energy, before starting his own residential remodeling business. He specializes in energy efficiency, building science, renewable energy, natural building technologies, and sourcing local materials. He and his family also practice regenerative agriculture in their urban setting, cultivating over 30 species of perennial edibles and a modest orchard of apples, pears, peaches, plums, and cherries.
Vinnie and his wife, Gina, lived in the Amherst area for many years before moving to Stevens Point where they currently reside with their two children. In his spare time, Vinnie is an under-appreciated chauffeur and personal chef for his kids (parents will get this joke). Vinnie, Gina, and their children enjoy savoring the arts, traveling, backpacking, hunting and fishing, gardening, supporting family farms, buying local, and cooking amazing meals for their family with homegrown, local fruits and veggies. |
