SUMMARY
Professional Engineer with extensive experience in the energy industry including energy
production, energy systems, renewable energy sources and the economics of the various technologies.
I have managed facilities and their staff as well as assessed the operations of facilities owned and/or
operated by others. My core strengths center on application of emerging and new energy technologies
which simultaneously control costs and improve performance. My technology back ground includes
coal, natural gas, fuel oil, solar hydronic, solar photo voltaic, wind, district energy systems and
microgrids. I especially enjoy working at challenging the status quo, how can we optimize systems and
eliminate regulatory barriers to achieve best of class energy systems of the future. I am comfortable
interfacing with those new to the industry as well as with regulators in both state and federal offices.
