Everything in life is scary but at some point you have to master your fear.
About Ross
- I grew up in rural Iowa and my first job as a teenager was working in the corn fields.
- After high school and into my 20s, I made a handful of attempts at college and tried out different majors but nothing really stuck, so I quit.
- My last major was marine biology, which got me into the zoo and aquarium industry.
- I spent 17 years working in the zoo and aquarium industry managing teams that maintained aquatic filtration systems.
- After 17 years, I decided I wanted to make a career change and go back to school for wind energy technology.
- After graduating, I got a job as a wind turbine technician for NextEra Energy Resources.
- I spent six years as a wind turbine technician, working my way up to the highest technician level the company offered.
- I transitioned from wind energy to solar energy and now work as a lead solar technician for Enel North America in North Texas.
