About Tyson Dirksen – Real Estate Developer, Investor & Visionary

Growing up in the orchards of Northern California, Tyson spent his childhood immersed in nature, observing firsthand the environmental impact of the 1980s drought. This early experience sparked a lifelong passion for environmental conservation, resource stewardship, and sustainability. Influenced by his family’s involvement in real estate, he recognized the significant role the built environment plays in climate change and resource consumption. As a high school freshman, Tyson encountered the statistic that the built environment accounted for 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, a revelation that inspired him to integrate his love for real estate and urban planning with his dedication to environmental sustainability. Today, Tyson is a recognized expert in the high-performance green building industry and the founder of Evolve Companies. Under his leadership, Evolve operates as a vertically integrated real estate firm encompassing brokerage, construction, building supply, and development, all focused on creating innovative, healthy, sustainable, smart, and resilient buildings designed to impact communities, occupants, and the environment positively.
