Every BPC home is built by a team that has spent years learning how a house actually performs once a family moves in: how quiet it is, how the air feels, and how comfortable it stays on the coldest night of the year. Our builders, engineers, and project managers solve those problems early, in design, so they don’t turn into surprises halfway through the build.Building custom green homes requires a team of skilled craftsmen with an extensive understanding of building science and engineering principles as well as experience completing homes that meet many green industry standards and certifications.
We’ve been building and remodeling high-performance custom homes across Connecticut and New York since 1998. In 2023, BPC became a worker-owned cooperative, so many of the people building your home also own part of the company. Our homes have earned some of the most demanding certifications in the industry, including LEED Platinum and Passive House, along with six U.S. Department of Energy Housing Innovation Awards.
Staff
Michael N. Trolle
Director of Sales & Marketing, Senior Project Manager
Michael Trolle is one of BPC’s original co-founders, alongside his brother Chris. He used to hold one of the company’s senior leadership titles, and as BPC has brought on more leadership over the years, he’s been able to narrow his focus to Director of Pre Construction & Sales, the first point of contact for most new clients and their guide through every question up until the letter of intent is signed. He was drawn to homebuilding through building science, the idea that a house could be engineered for performance and sustainability instead of built out of habit, and that’s still what excites him. The first home he ever built earned an American Lung Association Health House certification, a project that set the tone for everything BPC has built since. Outside of work, Michael’s usually on his bike, riding one of his favorite local routes, or at Lake Champlain, where his grandparents’ old summer house still looks out over the water.
Ben Bogie
CEO
Ben Bogie is BPC’s CEO, and on a given day that could mean solving a technical problem, managing the team, or making sure the crew has snacks. His approach is simple: try to do a little better on every project than the one before. What keeps him at it is the chance to help create spaces where people actually get to live their lives, and the trust the industry has placed in him over the years tells him it’s working. Ben is happiest on a rocky coastline with his wife, has strong opinions about Frank Zappa, and photographs old gravestone carvings for fun. At 13, on a school trip to London, he got separated from his group at night and found his way back to the hotel by describing the building to a very patient cabbie.
Albert Jensen-Moulton
CBO
Albert Jensen-Moulton is BPC’s General Manager, running HR, insurance, and legal compliance, and keeping the books straight so the company and its people get paid. He got into high-performance building as a way to actually do something about climate change, and that shows in how he talks about houses: comfort isn’t a luxury, it’s a sign the house is behaving the way it should. He points to a net-zero home BPC built with a fully electric indoor pool as proof that ambitious and practical don’t have to be opposites. At home, Albert is outnumbered by his wife, four-year-old, and three cats, and by his own admission the houseplants come last in line for attention. He trained as an opera singer and still sings weekly at church and in a local choir.
Megan Castellucci
COO
Megan Castellucci is BPC’s Production Manager, making sure the field crew has the people, information, subcontractors, and support they need to keep every project on schedule, on budget, and up to the client’s standard. She came to BPC for the culture and a long-standing love of architecture and home design, after deciding she wanted something different from the corporate world she’d been in. The moments she’s proudest of aren’t the flashy ones. They’re the times she’s helped a client work through the ordinary challenges that come up on every build. Her read on people is sharp enough that she calls it her superpower. Outside of work, Megan spent a good chunk of her younger years as a watercolor painter, and these days she’s more likely found gardening, cooking with some jazz on in the background, or catching up on The Rookie with her kids.
Ned Colclough
Project Manager
Ned Colclough is a Project Manager at BPC, keeping client communication, budgets, schedules, and subcontractor coordination moving in the same direction across every job he runs. He works with considered intention, which might be the most Ned answer possible to how he approaches a house. What keeps him going is simple: the promise that there’s always a way to do it better. He’s proud, in his own deadpan way, of landing a third consecutive invite to the sitework contractor’s holiday party, which says more about his relationships on site than any resume could. At home, he’s got a spouse named Elizabeth, a son named Bert, and a cat named Ken. He claims, unverified, to be a super recognizer.
Trevor Sniffin
Site Lead
Trevor Sniffin is a Site Supervisor and Project Manager at BPC, keeping trade partners aligned on daily priorities, the jobsite safe, and sequencing problems solved before they become delays. He believes comfort is the real reason BPC builds the way it does. The team obsesses over the airtightness, insulation, ERVs, and triple-pane glass, but what’s most obvious to the client is how good the finished home feels to live in. He started on a framing crew and loved the instant payoff of hard physical work, then moved into management to be part of the whole project instead of just one piece of it. He’s especially proud of a blower door test on BPC’s Roxbury project that came in at .41 ACH50, a number that took every trade on the job executing at a high level. Outside of work, Trevor is a diehard sports fan and a former hjighly competitive collegiate springboard diver.
Peter Pesano
Director of Estimating & Design
Peter Pesano is a Project Manager at BPC, interpreting construction plans, scheduling trade partners, ordering materials, and coordinating with architects and homeowners on everything from inspections to invoicing. His rule is that function comes first: how a house works for the people living in it matters more than any detail that would sacrifice performance for looks. What keeps him invested is the personal weight of the job. To BPC it’s a project, but to the homeowner it’s often a lifelong dream, and Peter still gets a charge out of watching someone see a finished room for the first time. His wife calls him a mountain goat for his love of multi-summit hikes in the Adirondacks, and given the choice, he’ll take a tent over a five-star resort every time.
Rob Wotzak
Shop Manager
Rob Wotzak is BPC’s Site Supervisor, handling the day-to-day work of turning plans into a finished house, from breaking ground to handing over the keys, and solving whatever problems come up along the way. He believes a great house does more than meet its occupants’ practical needs. It should also make people feel joyful, comfortable, and safe, which is the standard he holds every job to. On a recent build that called for tightly curved baseboards with no clear plan for how to make them, Rob built plywood molds and glued up thin layers to shape each custom curve himself. Outside of work, Rob forges furniture, housewares, and railings by hand as a blacksmith. He says he was a shy kid, which is hard to believe once you get him talking.
Peter Hade
Site Lead / Production Systems Lead
Peter Hade is a Project Manager at BPC, running projects from preconstruction through closeout: budgets, change orders, subcontracts, and the on-site calls when a detail doesn’t match the drawings. His view is that a house is one system, not a pile of parts, and getting the enclosure right makes everything downstream easier: smaller mechanicals, and a house that’s quieter, drier, and cheaper to live in. What keeps him invested is building something physical that didn’t exist before, then knowing whether it actually works, which is what drew him to high-performance building. He’s proudest of an interior skylight he designed, fabricated, and welded at a Manhattan restaurant: twenty-one antique stained glass panels, roughly 1,000 pounds of glass and steel, in a blackened steel frame. Outside of work, Peter’s usually on his motorcycle headed for Peekamoose Road in the Catskills, or in his shop welding something that started as one idea and became an obsession.
Kevin Jewell
Director of Construction
Kevin Jewell is a Project Manager at BPC, keeping clients, architects, designers, and site supervisors moving together so nobody’s ever waiting on a decision, while he tracks budgets, material orders, and quality control at the same time. He’s a fourth-generation builder with a carpentry background, and some of his earliest memories are walking job sites with his grandfather, so this work was in his blood before he ever chose it. He’s proud of a project where a couple couldn’t agree on their fireplace: one wanted a mounted TV, the other wanted the stonework left alone. Kevin solved it with an electric lift that hides the TV in the ceiling when it’s not on, and years later, he still runs into that couple, and it still comes up. Outside of work, Kevin bowls competitively enough to have thrown several perfect games, and in high school, he apprenticed to be a farrier, shoeing horses.
Todd Goodman
Site Support
Todd Goodman is a Site Supervisor at BPC who brings a hands-on approach and an unusually varied background to solving problems on the job site. His interest in understanding how things work led him through HVAC, Passive House, and BPI training, and shapes how he approaches homes: as interconnected systems where all the pieces need to work together. Resourcefulness has been a common thread throughout Todd’s life, from leading wilderness expeditions with Outward Bound in Colorado to building hurricane-resistant homes in Puerto Rico as a teenager. Today, he also volunteers as a firefighter, with training in technical rope rescue, vehicle extrication, and swiftwater and flood rescue. Whether on a job site or elsewhere, Todd is most at home assessing a problem, working with what’s available, and finding a way forward.
Charlotte Mustard
Fractional Marketing
Charlotte Mustard is BPC’s fractional CMO, handling marketing strategy and execution: social, website content, the client nurture journey, and the systems that keep it all running efficiently. She got into marketing because she has a gift for telling other people’s stories, and these days she’s loving getting to do that for a company whose people and mission she genuinely believes in. She’s proud of the recent rebrand work at BPC, opening them up as a builder of genuinely beautiful homes without losing the technical credibility that got them here. Outside of work, Charlotte’s usually found on her back porch with a book and a glass of wine, where the neighbors have a standing habit of wandering over uninvited. She’s also a decent artist, whether that’s painting, sewing, or arranging flowers.
