Professional Engineer with extensive experience in the energy industry including energy

production, energy systems, renewable energy sources and the economics of the various 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
