In whatever small way you can, contribute. Each of us arrives at this with completely different skills and completely different hearts, and yet we all have a common goal.
About Penn
- 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.
