On Friday, January 31, 2025, I excepted an interim position of editor at Green Building Advisor. This job offer came out of the blue, and was something I could not pass up. For now, it is a temporary position with the possibility of becoming permanent. The current editor, Kiley Jacques is on a leave of absence, if she decides to return, she will have her position back.
What this means for the Northern Built blog is a little up in the air. I have, in the past been able to repost the articles I write for GBA, this may come to an end during my tenure as editor. I will plan on writing one original blog per month for the Northern Build website. Know that Northern Build will not be going away.
My plan for my business, (Willcon Inc) is to continue performing energy audits and building investigations in Northern Minnesota along with some public speaking and teaching events (If you are heading to IBS in 2025, I will be speaking at the Performance Construction Zone, watch for a schedule). I have also been taking on consulting roles, mostly helping homeowners and builders with new construction projects. I will have to decline those opportunities going forward.
If you haven’t subscribed to the site, please do. The only purpose of the subscription is to notify you when a new blog is released. I do not sell or distribute the subscription list to anyone.
I want to thank all of you who have helped me build the Northern Built site into what is has become. The site recently hit 10,000 visitors over the past 30 days and has been growing at a rate of 25% per year. This wouldn’t have happened without the readers, thank you!!!
Hope to see you on GBA, and on this site!
Randy
