You hold a lot of power to make a better world. I\u2019m here to help you unleash it.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hi. I\u2019m Frank Ebbert. For three decades I\u2019ve been busy delivering buildings for clients big and small. I\u2019m an architect, technology advocate and program manager because I\u2019m comfortable with complex problems that demand quality, integrity and character. In 2009 those motivations evolved.<\/p>\n

My parents worked hard to give me better than they had. It\u2019s a given I\u2019m concerned about my children\u2019s future. It\u2019s a given I will do my best to give them better than I\u2019ve had. But in what way? If I\u2019m concerned about ocean health, and I\u2019m an architect, how can I make a better future?<\/p>\n

The love of learning, open minded discussion and concern for others were gifts from my parents. I used those gifts to build an understanding that widespread electrification during the twentieth century was a triumph improving conditions for many. They also allowed an understanding to analyze and bear the burden of the trade offs and still conclude that it was a worthwhile endeavor.<\/p>\n

In the twenty first century those burdens are impacting my kids. Landwave\u2019s mission has evolved from environmental stewardship through renovations, generalized efficiency and orderly deployment to include two other major factors: zero emissions technologies and conscientious decision making. Both require life cycle approaches to problem solving. Full circle.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t solve any of the burdens by myself, or even in my lifetime. But I can aid those around me and lift up the coming generations to make better trade offs for their kids as I am making for my own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bio<\/h4>\n

Frank is a long term independent thinker concerned about how his kids and their peers will contend with stewarding the planet.<\/p>\n

Registered as an architect for over 25 years, by the mid 90\u2019s Frank was running mergers and acquisitions renovation programs for national commercial clients. He was the National CAD Director for Little and Associates, a 700-person architecture firm. During that time, he ushered Walmart\u2019s facilities deployment program into the digital age.<\/p>\n

Landwave was founded in 2001 to serve design clients with candid optimism about developing smarter, sleeker, more efficient methods to develop buildings, to help focus technical services to better support positive experiences. Frank has served residential and commercial clients including the Pentagon facilities and the US Census Bureau.<\/p>\n

At the Pentagon, Frank spent a decade evaluating facility operations and construction services and initiated several long-term programs. He is currently working as senior advisor for program, design, and quality management for his second US Census Bureau Decennial. In this capacity, he is collaborating with hundreds of owners and architects to build out spaces for the 10-year census count in the United States.<\/p>\n

Frank is deeply invested in innovating solutions to climate change, environmental stewardship, and planetary boundaries. His work has been narrowing toward this topic for nearly two decades, and his children have inspired his increased commitment to sustainable changemaking.<\/p>\n

In the near term he wants to contribute to keeping the benefits of electrification without the burdens of it. He is currently leveraging his rollout experience to enable widespread adoption of zero emissions facilities. In the long term, he\u2019s invested in raising a generation that can hold several complicated pieces together and make beneficial decisions. It\u2019s not just that he\u2019s concerned about his kids today. He\u2019s concerned about the concerns they will have and the leverage they will find over their own challenges.<\/p>\n

Frank lives and drums in Arlington, Virginia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
