About Nigel Salazar – CEO of Tiny House Homes

Governing the mission and fiscal integrity of Nigel Salazar's 501(c)(3) Housing Initiative.

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.

Anton Auguste

Vice President

Anton Auguste brings a strong blend of craftsmanship, financial discipline, and mission-driven leadership to Tiny House Homes. His technical foundation began early, with formal training in Technical Drawing, Plumbing, and Electrical systems, later advancing to specialized Air Conditioning studies at Trinizuala Technical College—skills that anchor his understanding of construction, safety, and structural excellence.

His leadership abilities were shaped through years of service in the Military Cadet Force, where he rose to lead his battalion, and through his work in the private security sector, overseeing recruitment, operations, and high-demand deployments. These experiences strengthened his capacity to lead under pressure, build effective teams, and manage large-scale organizational systems.

Despite his executive accomplishments, Anton remains committed to hands-on craftsmanship through property rehabilitation and renovation. One of his most meaningful achievements is building his family home alongside his father. As Vice President, Anton ensures that Tiny House Homes’ financial planning and operational systems reflect the same values—precision, sustainability, and community impact.
