Gene Meyers

Gene Myers has been redefining what it means to build homes that are innovative and sustainable for 30+ years. As the founder and Chief Sustainability Officer of Thrive Home Builders, Gene has built his career and his company around one core belief: That home building can (and should) make a meaningful impact on people and the planet. Thrive Home Builders is widely recognized for its leadership in green and healthy home innovation, with more than a dozen U.S. Department of Energy Housing Innovation Awards and multiple EPA Indoor airPLUS Leader Awards. Through Gene’s vision, Thrive has become a national model for combining energy efficiency, superior indoor air quality and carbon reduction in production homes. Their Thrive Carbon-Wise™ approach, focused on reducing both operational and embodied carbon, uses all-electric systems, solar power and low-impact materials to help homes perform better and last longer.
