Niels de Jong Board Member
Niels de Jong was born and raised in southern California to a family of Dutch immigrants with the dichotomy of artists and entrepreneurs. Having to work many different jobs from a young age, Niels learned many different skills before he ventured off on his own around the Americas, spending most of his time in Brazil where he learned Portuguese and on natural building construction sites where he became familiar with many different techniques and community living situations before finally landing in New Mexico where he became a part of E.A.R.T.H.
