    Tell us a bit about your background and how it relates to reclaimed materials. My background is in architecture. I moved back to St. Louis in 2009 after spending several years abroad and fell in love with my hometown, but I didn’t like seeing our cool old buildings being crushed and sent to the landfill. I saw a need for more deconstruction, as opposed to demolition, so that salvaged building materials could be reincorporated into our community, creatively!
