Allan "Buzz" Ferver

Buzz was trained in Ornamental Horticulture and Landscape Design in the 1970's. He switched careers to work as an independent building designer and contractor in 1980. Parallel careers as a product design engineer for an automotive tool and equipment manufacturer, and the marketing and sales agent for a huge processor of compost made his life even more interesting. The 21st century finds him back as a Design/Builder, focusing primarily on new homes and major renovations to existing homes as a partner in Overbrook Design. He still spends some time consulting to the compost industry. He also dabbles in Sustainable Agriculture. A Stormwater head, for fun he follows the implications of the Clean Water Act and the ever evolving NPDES Phase II rules. He is currently living in and building a solar home in Worcester, Vermont with his beautiful wife Sandra. He has been teaching since 1970.
