Tom White always lends an important perspective to Habitat X, coming from the world of publishing, community development, and small business. He’s a serial entrepreneur with 30-plus years of start-up, management, marketing and editorial experience in health, energy, environment, and scholarly trade sectors. Somewhere in his long resume is also a stint with Stuart Brand and the ultra-creative publishers of the Whole Earth Catalog.

Tom lives in Berkeley, California, where he’s a developer of affordable single- and multi-family housing—he’s also known as the guy who saves threatened homes by moving them to new locations. Tom is the Energy and Sustainability Manager for Eden Housing, and is the former publisher of Home Energy Magazine.
