Doug Selby
Co-Founder & Sustainability Director
Building science expert and co-founder of Meadowlark Builders, Doug attended Michigan State University and graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry. After working as a pharmaceutical chemist and cancer researcher for 7 years, Doug left the profession in 1998 to become a carpenter, learning all trades while remodeling rental houses.
During the early and mid-90’s, Kirk Brandon and Doug also founded and ran a woodworking company in Ann Arbor, where they honed their appreciation for fine craftsmanship. Doug and Kirk co-founded Meadowlark Builders in 2004, drawing on their previous experience in both business and the trades.
Doug spent several years studying primitive living skills, and enjoys cooking, growing food and trying to keep up with his kids.
