He is aLEED AP and a Certified Passive House Consultant. As a result of his educational background and interests, Rob has become keenly interested in various approaches addressing sustainability: urban patterns, housing, resource acquisition and use, etc. 

With regards to WASH programs, Rob lean towards being more process driven than product/ technology driven - believing that there are numerous approaches to a problem and that it is incumbent to find a solution that matches the numerous realities inherent in a given location/ situation. Ron is also a strong believer in community participation in the needs assessment analysis with the understanding that it not only assists those involved in better understanding resources in place but creates buy-in of those who will ultimately be responsible for the sustainability of the program.
