Bill Christensen is the founder and prime force behind Sustainable Sources. His background ranges from physics to metaphysics (BS, Maharishi International University), encompasses community building from both the practical and the theoretical side (founding member and still resident of the Radiance community, outside Austin Texas, and Masters in Community and Regional Planning, UT Austin), and includes a long list of community service activities.
When not at the keyboard creating websites and maintaining the network, Bill may be found tending the mini-orchard or the garden, tending a local area network throughout Radiance which offers high speed access to his neighbors, or serving on a board or committee of a number of community or green endeavors.
Jeanine Sih Christensen does everything. Site design, HTML, graphics, tech support, general organization around the office, you name it. She’s long been interested in green building and similar efforts – we had even published two of her articles on green building before she even had a clear idea what the internet was about (with permission of the original publisher, of course), and before we had even met her! Her attention to detail and organizational skills keep us all on track. A sponge for new information, she probably knows more about creating web pages than anyone on our staff.

Travis Weller, owner of Spiraco.
Tracy O’Shaughnessy, owner of DesignGrrl Studios.
Anne Woods, owner of Force of Nature Studio.
Firedog Studios
