Christina Koch is editor of Qualified Remodeler magazine. She has been involved in construction-trade publishing since 2000; most of that time was spent as editor of a nationally circulated green-building magazine geared toward the commercial industry. Christina is a LEED Accredited Professional and has been interviewed by well known news organizations, including The New York Times and San Francisco's KTRB-AM 860 radio station, about how sustainability is affecting the construction industry. She is active in industry trade associations, including a NARI National Member subcommittee and the 2011 NAHB Remodelers board of trustees. Koch cites interviewing former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley as her most memorable professional experience.
