red dirt
kc and will met in the early 90’s in the high desert of southern utah, while working for a wilderness therapy program for youth at risk. it was love at first sight and they have maintained a close friendship ever since. individually, their career paths have ventured from architecture to law to secondary education administration and beyond - but the love of building has always been a consistent thread that has tied them together. red dirt design + build has been a dream long deferred, now come to fruition.
