Together, he and his brother Steven have been nationally recognized for their work as the collaborative artist duo Dufala Brothers. They also teach a found materials and site-specific class at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. They are represented by the Fleisher/Ollman Gallery. Fern Gookin works for Revolution Recovery, a company that provides a full range of recycling services for the construction and manufacturing industries. She graduated from the Masters of Science in Sustainable Design program at Philadelphia University where her thesis project focused on the role of art in sustainability. Fern currently teaches a course in the Sustainable Design program on adaptive design.
