Affordable Costs, Efficient Savings on Green Products

Due to rising energy costs, conventional building materials are rapidly increasing in price. Using energy-efficient, natural and resource-responsible green building materials and green building systems in your building is not only sustainable but financially sensible. Considering monetary, social and environmental costs, it only makes sense to select green building materials for your next (green) building project. When measuring return on investment, Eco-Building Products’ selection of green products and green materials out-performs comparable products.

Owner, General Manager

Bio: In 1988, Jim graduated from The School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Miami University in Oxford,  Ohio. In 1990 he purchased Northern Delights, a Natural Foods Bakery and Deli  specializing in hippie vegetarian foods. Shortly thereafter, he added a cafe by incorporating table side service, applied for and was awarded a Class C Resort Beer and Wine license from the State of Michigan. At that point, his food evolved from hippie vegetarian to finer ethnic fare prepared from local and organic  foods.  Northern Delights Cafe, Bakery and Deli became a cultural mecca providing a weekly coffee house series, ethnic dinners, wine tastings and art receptions.  As owner and operator of Northern Delights, he was recognized by the Northern Michigan Environmental Action council as “Environmentalist of the Year”. In 1999, he upgraded from the beer and wine to a liquor license and created The Roadhouse, a Mexican Bar and Grill. Three years later he sold it.  In the summer of 2002, he formed The Crystal Lake Catering Company, providing upscale catering services to well established clients from his two previous businesses.  He continues to operate it on a seasonal basis. In March of 2006, he established Eco-Building products.  Eco-BuildingProducts.com As the owner, his primary role is directing sales and marketing. In January 2011, Eco-Building Products was recognized as Northwest Lower Michigan’s Small Business of the Year by The Small Business Development and Technology Center.
