Adam Salner

Adam Salner was born in 1979 in Denver, Colorado For as long as he can remember, Adam has been fascinated with construction and passionate about creating housing solutions big or small. He was only 12 when he undertook his very first construction project, building a tiny wooden house for his dog Tuxy. At the age of 18 right after school, Adam started work as a general contractor working for a number of big construction corporations; and during this time has had the opportunity to work on many luxury housing projects in Colorado, Arizona, and all over the West and Midwest US. Through more than 20 years of experience in fine home construction, Adam soon came to realise that traditional construction projects did not always sit well with his own values and passion for more sustainable living solutions, so in 2015 he made the decision to shift his focus and energy to sustainable housing. Adam’s vision is to truly make sustainable housing options more accessible for everyone. His mission is to inspire others to live more sustainably and share how it is possible to create your very own sustainable home utilizing shipping containers. These days, Adam spends his time training construction companies and individuals interested into sustainable living and off-grid housing solutions. He has now been involved in hundreds of shipping container home construction projects and masters any detail: insulation, flooring, siding types and color, kitchens, bathroms and more! In his free time, Adam enjoys family time with his wife Becky and his son Matt; and enjoys nothing more than a barbecue with friends and a cold beer! In Adam's book you will find a legacy of high-end craftmanship and all the know-how you need on any construction detail required for creating your own shipping container home.
