In this episode of The Awakening Spaces Podcast, Ashley sits down with builder David Aurbeck of PLH Exclusives, whose wife’s battle with mold illness transformed his career into a mission: creating homes that truly support human health.

David shares practical wisdom on building mold-resistant homes, protecting lumber on site, and the surprising potential of log homes. He and Ashley also explore the deeper side of building — from the energy of natural materials to choosing purpose over fear.

Whether you’re navigating mold illness, considering a log home, or simply curious about healthy high-performance building, this conversation will leave you both informed and inspired.

My name is David Aurbeck (R-Beck), grew up farming in central IL. After getting a B.S. degree in Environmental Studies, moved back to IL and started a family in a small apartment before GCing/building my first home. 

The Log Home company asked me to be their Rep, which initiated the start of my building/restoration company in 2016. Due to mold sensitivities and trauma with my wife, I am fully invested in the build science world and focus primarily now on enhancing lives through Healthy High-Performance Homes.
