The Team

 
 

EXPERIENCE:


1993-Present ECO-TEK Ecological Technologies Inc.    CEO

Operating a design build company engaged in research   and development of the Solar aquatics System technology

Kim is the founder and president of ECO-TEK Ecological Technologies, an innovative company through which he applies his diverse academic background and experience in ecologically sustainable design strategies, passive solar building construction and project management.  ECO-TEK designs ecologically engineered technologies and natural strategies to reduce, recycle, and re-use ‘reclaimed water and nutrients  from sewage’.  ECO-TEK uses innovative technologies, such as the Solar Aquatic System (SAS), as an “incubator of biodiversity” to increase local food and plant fiber production.  This is achieved by converting sewage and other wastewaters into high quality water with recovered pathogen-free nutrients and distributed by efficient re-use/ irrigation networks.  The end results are restored local ecosystems, local food security and meaningful local jobs.
