Jim Hallock
Earth Block, Inc. was founded by Jim Hallock in 1994 after searching far and wide for a suitable building material that was non-toxic. Wife and partner Nora, who is chemically sensitive, knew they had found the answer when Jim was introduced to Earth Block buildings at an industry conference. Earth Block made perfect sense, not just for them, but for the masses. Jim's passion for building with dirt quickly became a life ambition and vocation.

Earth buildings have been constructed around the world, however, codes have not been developed for many States at the present. He helped author New Mexico's Code for earth buildings, the United States Department of Agriculture and the United States Agency for International Development entitled "Pressed Block Construction Guidelines," was featured in articles in both "Builder/Architect Magazine (May 2002) and Taos News (November 2001), was the contractor on earthen homes featured in four publications and has consulted on scores of projects around the northern hemisphere.

Jim and Nora reside in Pagosa Springs, CO but Jim travels extensively providing consulting services to contractors and builders, being on-site for construction projects requiring expert overseeing, provides shipping of Earth Blocks to areas whose soil may not be optimal for building and is available for teaching.
