CALEB Fouss 👷🏼‍♂️👨🏼‍💻

Hi! Here is everything you need to know about me. 

I'm an architect by day and a creator by night. 

After nearly a decade of working in the AEC industry, I got frustrated with the lack of clear and easily accessible information about architecture beyond school. Wanting to make a difference and elevate the industry I began writing daily on LinkedIn. That decision changed my life. 

My mission is simple:
1. To elevate the AEC industry by providing thoughtful content
2. To simplify carbon & architecture for everyone to understand
3. To motivate other architects to design better buildings

If you resonate with any of those mission statements then you came to the right place! 

Here is how I can help you be a better architect:
1. Follow me & contribute to my posts by commenting (this helps everyone learn)
2. Subscribe to my newsletter - it's free and will help you be a better architect
3. Send me a message - if there are any problems you can't solve, I'll do my best to help

*This goes without saying, but all my posts are my personal opinion only.
