The North and the Desert.
A Minnesota pine meets an Arizona saguaro. Grant Weis is the founder and owner. Minnesota roots. Built in the desert.
The project.
A Minnesota pine and an Arizona saguaro have more in common than you'd think. Both grow slowly, both stand tall for generations, and both hold up through hard seasons. Pine is also framing lumber, the bones of every building. The saguaro is the icon of the desert where the work is built now. The North Star over both trees ties the North and the Desert together.
Pine & Saguaro is Grant Weis's passion-project hub for research, models and dashboards, AI work, science, design, engineering, history, construction and golf. It is a personal project, not a money-making business, a registered firm, or an investment adviser. The structure is meant to grow as new ideas take root.
The recommended line is simple: Rooted North. Built in the Desert.
Patient
Compounding over quick wins. Grow slow and stand tall.
Framed to last
