Most of the time when I hear about an Ivy League graduate, it conjures images in my mind such as V-neck sweaters, collared button-down shirts, and loafers. Maybe even a tobacco pipe hanging from the corner of his mouth. As a Stanford graduate, Marc Boudart looks more like a cross between a cowboy and a modern-day lumberjack at first glance, minus the need to chop down tons of trees, of course. As a green contractor, Boudart first came to the scene when he built his first green house in 1977 using handmade adobe and dead standing trees from a nearby forest. He has been in the contracting business for over 30 years and has been using green building practices even before it was the thing to do. Boudart 'made it official' and joined the Natural Building Network in 1990 and is also a Certified Green Builder with Build It Green and it working on his LEED certification.
