Nigel Salazar is the driving force behind Tiny House Homes, where his decades of construction expertise meet a bold humanitarian mission: transforming discarded shipping containers into dignified homes for families in crisis.
With over 20 years as a Master Electrician and licensed Journeyman, Nigel built and operated his own electrical contracting firm, mastering everything from mechanical systems to full-scale remodels. His executive experience includes managing $20M+ commercial projects as an Electrical Project Manager for Power Design, Inc., where he led complex builds with precision and fiscal discipline.
But Nigel’s journey didn’t stop at technical mastery. Inspired by his own RV lifestyle and passion for tiny living, he saw potential in the overlooked retired shipping containers, often destined for scrap. He envisioned a scalable “Kit of Parts” model: homes that could be rapidly deployed, customized, and built by communities themselves.
As a real estate investor, educator, and founder, Nigel has completed over 15 remodels, taught at Southern Technical Institute, and trained countless individuals in the trades. Today, he leads Tiny House Homes with a mission to restore dignity through design, sustainability, and skill-building one recycled container at a time.
is a key contributor to the Tiny House Homes team, leveraging a background that merges technical hands-on skill with business strategy. A dual-degree graduate of Edward Waters University with degrees in Business Administration (Accounting) and Cybersecurity, he ensures fiscal precision and technological security in the company’s operations. Gary applies the discipline gained from Electrical training (specialized in Fire, Mold, and Water remediation) and high-level leadership roles, including EWU Class President and multi-sport captain, to every facet of the company’s growth.
