Clifton Trujillo

“I derive the utmost joy from the natural world and always wanted to do my part to ensure it stuck around for the future inhabitants of the planet. That passion pushed me toward green building, as proper design and development of the built environment can help mitigate climate change. “

Experience and Expertise:
