More about DAVID:"I am telling you the story of David Lynch so that you might understand the principals behind GreenSun Construction. These are the principals of precision, accuracy and high quality standards while practicing rigorous honesty and personal integrity. I was a pretty normal middle class American boy growing up in suburbia with a registered nurse mother and a civil engineer father until at age 11 we moved to Paris, France on diplomatic assignment. I went to a French school for a while, served as an acolyte in the Gothic Anglican Cathedral on Avenue George V and was a Boy Scout. I learned to get along with all different kinds of people and cultures because I had to. We moved to Brussels Belgium after 4 years where I spent my craziest teenage years graduating from the Brussels American HS after having been captain of the football team, track star, class president, and lead guitarist of the best rock band in town. I began as a high achiever always seeking ‘the best’, and I still do. I went to college studying mechanical engineering at Tufts University outside Boston but was not ready for career. I had excelled in the material world but there was an inner world I needed to explore. I joined a Gurdjiffian school of esotericism and trekked the Andes for the next two years, organic farming, living on a macrobiotic diet, and meditation at 10,000 ft -- even exploring higher consciousness through spiritual enhancements. Returning stateside I explored several schools of consciousness while travelling cross country as a blues musician. While leading consciousness trainings in Santa Cruz, CA I met a Tibetan Buddhist nun, fell in love and 9 months later got married. I played healing music for an alternative cancer treatment center and for natural births at the rebirthing center of Santa Cruz. After studying medicine and acupuncture for several years we got pregnant and I finally had to start working for a living. I naturally defaulted to engineering and over the next 20 years I worked as a rocket scientist, laser engineer, developed equipment for the first remote access coronary bypass surgery, designed a hypobaric chamber for kidney dialysis using our own sweat glands to clean the blood, and became an expert in designing robotic manufacturing and transferring assembly lines to Asia. At my peak I was named on the patent for the Apple Titanium power book, commuting to China once a month managing engineers on three continents, while being a single father with sole custody of 3 teenage kids and playing in an acoustic band on the weekends that I wasn’t running triathlons. And then it crashed. I called home from Taipei to talk to my daughter on a Sunday morning and no one knew where she was. I caught the next flight home and two weeks later had terminated my high tech career and my marriage. I was finished working for “the company” and ready to pursue my work. My hobby while working high tech was owner/builder and I had built several houses and owned 5 properties is Santa Cruz County. I had worked through college in construction so I became a handyman. After several years I got a sponsor, passed the exams and got my contractor’s license. In 2005 the company was born. I had 22 years experience in high tech immersed in precision, accuracy and high quality standards and my spiritual work had taught me rigorous honesty and personal integrity. Working directly with clients was a whole new world for me. There is nothing more rewarding than to finish a project and see the joy and happiness that I have helped bring to a family. There is also a responsibility to the earth—so I began learning about green building training in solar energy and sustainable building and becoming certified by the California Energy Commission.
