Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
I went to college for engineering but did not end up graduating.
While living off-the-grid in a cabin up the side of Mount Shasta, it became apparent to me that part of my responsibility was to take care of the environment.
That inspiration launched me into a career in renewable energy, which began with a job as a renewable energy designer and salesperson for Wholesale Solar in Mount Shasta.
After a couple of years, I moved to the Sierra Foothills and continued to build my career in solar design and sales.
In 2021, I relocated to New York and joined Buffalo Solar as a solar energy consultant.

Day to Day
My day mostly consists of working with Microsoft Excel and other programs to collect and analyze data. I look at a client's utilities and location data and whittle it down into a comprehensive proposal to accurately highlight the benefits of solar energy for the client's unique situation. I may also drive out and do on-site work, which can include taking roof measurements, looking at the electrical infrastructure, and bringing together all of the technical details to accurately design a project.
