Paul Andrews, on growing up in small-town England, father wounds & positive masculinity, faith in the Universe & the Zen of affordable housing development

Paul Andrews is the man with the vision behind The Crossing neighborhood development in Buena Vista, Colo. He talks with Adam Williams about that project, which is committed to 50 percent affordable housing through partnerships with the Chaffee Housing Trust and Chaffee Housing Authority.

Paul and Adam also go back to Paul’s roots in small-town England, where he says he grew up on the “wrong side of the tracks.” Through his father, Paul formed a lifelong connection with nature and an ambition to build a life that was beyond expectations.

Paul also tells of his first big adventure to America, where things went very wrong on day one and by day two his life would be profoundly changed forever. Among other things.
