Energy Performance Architect
Industrial * Commercial Energy Use Optimization
Optimizing existing energy use in the U.S. is critical to accomplishing any sustainable energy economy. Fortunately, current technology provides retrofits that cut energy cost by a third or more. Incentive funding to implement this effort are at all time highs. As, unfortunately are the Measurement & Verification requirements to deliver the project.
I provide an extensive background in industrial/commercial facilities, energy project delivery, energy program experience and a thorough understanding of metering, instrumentation and controls. There’s a lot of work still to do.

Summary
Off to an early start, I began designing and selling equipment monitoring systems at age 15. By 19, achieved the supervisory role of 20+ staff in electronic/electro-mechanical manufacturing (which financed my education). An engineering intuitiveness, analytical problem solving skill, outside-the-box thinking and a penchant for invention have created success throughout my career.
