Writing & Earthen Building


About

Randy Eggert is a writer, linguist, and amateur builder. He lives with his wife and two kids in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he teaches at the University of Utah.

When he can, he goes to their land in Southern Utah to build earthen structures. He is writing a memoir about how working on the land helped him recover from grief and a debilitating illness.
