Michael Driedger CEO at Airsset

Michael Driedger, while standing in a dumpster full of drywall in 1996 (drywall he had installed in 1995), had an epiphany. We couldn’t have survived as a species for 60 or so thousand years if we always behaved this way. Using his archeology degree to discover how we used to build and behave, Michael has given his life to  the search for ways to bring back ancient construction wisdom while leveraging modern technologies.

Having worked in the construction, design and green building research sectors since 2005, Michael has found many answers to the questions he began asking in 1996. With years of diverse experiences from which to draw, he now works with others to guide their own searches for ways to build better buildings, better businesses, and better lives.
