Summary
I've been a long time advocate for moving our economy from fossil fuels to cleaner forms of energy and transportation, leveraging my software-building skills to help achieve those goals. At Frontier Energy, I have the opportunity to work with utilities, CCAs, and municipalities to help them strategically plan their fleet transitions so they can lower their carbon footprints and maintain compliance with state and federal regulations. At CALSTART, I had the unique opportunity to leverage millions in public and private funds to manage pilot projects that stimulate the transition to cleaner transportation vehicles, including Low NOx natural gas and electric cars, trucks, busses, trains and aircraft. Over the years, I have found success through perseverance, pragmatism, a healthy dose of optimism, and good old fashioned "grit." I love connecting with others on a similar path, particularly those that are working in the renewables space.
