Interests & Activities
I played competitive soccer for 14+ years, 4 seasons being a FIFA certified
referee as well. I won the 'heart & soul' award my senior year of high
school for my absolute dedication to the success of our team. I am
interested in the energy sector-broadly, including mining/drilling,
transport, refining, electric production, transmission, etc. I follow news
about the Grid broadly, including activities by electric co-ops to address
the changing face of delivery, security, & pollution reduction
technologies. River canoeing has long been a deep passion, to the point
where I have mapped out a 2200 mile route to the Gulf of Mexico from the
headwaters of the Allegheny in PA with a look into the changing face of
electric production along the waterway. My ultimate goal is to map the
location along the river trail of every utility-scale electric producer,
the areas to which they supply electric, & the original location of their
fuel so that I can track in real time, where the energy came from that is
being consumed in my presence. Appalachian culture & music is of particular
interest to me.
