About Tiny House Talk and Alex Pino
Hi, I’m Alex Pino. In 2007 I started to simplify because I wanted freedom in my life.
So by 2009 I went from working as a computer technician and living in a 1400 square foot home…
To writing about tiny houses and simple living while building my own publishing business out of a 500-square-foot apartment.
Today I live in a 600-square-foot apartment near the beach with the most beautiful girl on earth, Andrea Fouch.
At Jay Shafer’s Tiny House Workshop in March of 2010
In March of 2010 I got to attend Jay Shafer’s tiny house workshop in Orlando, Florida.
This helped me gain an understanding on how to build a house, when I do it myself.

At Derek “Deek” Diedricksen’s Micro Building Workshop in July 2011
In July of 2011 I was invited to attend Deek’s micro building workshop.
This was another opportunity for me to learn from someone who has designed and built several micro structures.
