Who We Are:
James Spitzer CEO; " Hello, I've enjoyed a long career in architectural design, drafting, and all phases of residential construction. My light bulb moment for GeoComb Homes came a few years back while I was thinking about a gazebo design. I went to sleep late one night after drawing. I bolted out of bed at 2:30 AM with the design breakthrough that made it all work at scale. I worked t
hrough the day finishing the sketches. I saw right away that the beauty and grace of the design would be in their simple versatility as much as their multifaceted honeycomb shape. Assemble them into countless beautiful architectural forms for a multitude of uses. It is a game changer in these times for us and the Earth. I'm glad to be able to put my skills into service for the future and housing transformation." Rick Wayman COO;" I am thrilled to join the GeoComb team. Reflecting on the myriad challenges, catastrophes, and opportunities, four things stand out to me as being more essential than ever: simplicity, beauty, sustainability, and our common humanity. The GeoComb Homes model makes all of these things possible, and I look forward to changing the world for the better with the rest of the team, our partners, and our customers. Over fifteen years of experience in organizations ranging from small business startups to international NGOs. A Bachelor's degree in International Business, Supply Chain Management, and Spanish from Marquette University, and a Master's Degree in Intercultural Service, Leadership, and Management from the SIT Graduate Institute gives me extensive experience building, managing, and participating in diverse and effective teams – both large and small." I'm Ayla. Since I was a child I knew I had a role to play in shifting humankind's relationship with the earth and her resources. I was born and raised in Santa Barbara. Becoming part of the Geocomb team changed my life by inspiring certainty that the power to collectively change course lies in our hands. It is waiting for nothing but us to rise to the occasion. It ignites my passion to be immersed in the extraordinary community that is on fire bringing about awareness and change in the way we build, live, and impact our world. It has been gratifying to create a business model that addresses not only our region’s housing needs and disaster relief but the bigger challenges facing the planet. I'm here to take part in bridging wisdom, experience, and passionate optimism with commitment."
