President Scott Blunk was born and raised on his family's farm in Belleville, Indiana. Following high school, Scott attended Purdue University where he achieved a Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Upon graduation, Scott went to work for Ford Motor Company where he worked as an engineer. During his tenure at Ford, Scott developed engine management systems for use on Chinese manufactured vehicles. After four years working for Ford, Scott realized that his professional life lacked a driving sense of purpose and he moved to Denver while awaiting deployment into the Peace Corps. Scott spent the next nine months skiing, rock climbing, hiking and working the odd job to support himself while exploring the environment and testing his physical limits. Scott's motivation in applying to the Peace Corps program came from his desire to travel, to live closer to the bone, to meet and interact with new cultures, language, and people and to see where those experiences would lead him. Above all, Scott wanted to feel useful – to work for a purpose greater than himself. Scott spent three years in Cameroon. The first two were spent in the Southwest Province, as a high school science teacher. He taught Physics and Chemistry. Outside of his pedagogical responsibilities, Scott involved himself in the daily life of his village and was instrumental in initiating a water project that brought running water to his village for the first time. This achievement earned him the name of Fuasangong (Chief that united the people). Additional projects for the village that Scott was involved in included building offices for the Principal and Vice Principal, building a teacher's lounge, building benches and windows for the school and raising money to rebuild the primary school which had blown down in a wind storm. Scott's final year in the Peace Corps found him in the Extreme North Province of Cameroon where he spent six months teaching Physics and English and the other six months working in The Elephant Camp. His primary duties at The Elephant Camp were to manage the local staff and European wildlife researchers. When an elephant used the kitchen as a scratching post causing it to collapse, Scott designed and helped to build a new kitchen. When Scott returned to the United States, he once again found himself in an engineering job. In this position, Scott sold aircraft testing material to markets in Asia. After six months, he was notified of a scholarship opportunity at Marquette University and the following Fall term began the MBA program there on a fellowship. While getting his MBA, Scott lived on a 30-foot sail boat and worked part time for the Badger Association of Blind and Visually Impaired. He was the Program Development Director working to improve and create new programs and services for the blind and visually impaired. While in Milwaukee, Scott was contracted by another non-profit to write a business plan for a used building material store in Milwaukee. It was here that Scott was first introduced to the concept of green building. Following the completion of his MBA program, Scott was accepted to the PhD program in Economics at UC Davis and moved west with his new bride (Jill) and two cats. After spending a few months in a tent in over one hundred degree weather, the Blunks bought a house in West Sacramento. Scott was attracted to the details involved in buying his first home and interested in revitalizing the neighborhood moved into, so he began to buy homes and refurbish them. Finding the work of green construction more rewarding than the Ph.D. program, Scott left UC Davis to focus full-time on developing the construction side of his business. And from that was born GreenBuilt Construction. Scott is dedicated to Green construction. Each day he feels as though he has more exposure to, and experience with, Green building materials and construction techniques. Each day is an opportunity to solve problems and to find a more efficient way of doing things. Scott works as a Green Builder because it is the most exciting thing he can think of doing. He is presented challenges on a daily basis and there is huge potential to do more and be more. Green is great for the environment and great for the people in the environment. Scott actually refers to himself as a Green Building Scientist since he must call on his knowledge of the environment, the sciences, the scientific processes, and building science in order to most successfully realize his goal of building Green.
