Personal Comments:

I have been involved in the Montana solar energy industry for over ten years, both as an industry professional and advocate through education and community outreach. As a Montana native I grew up off the grid, and gained an interest in self-sufficiency and alternative energy sources at a young age. My professional career in the solar industry began when he completed an A.A.S. degree in Photovoltaic (Solar Electric) Design and Installation from San Juan College in 2006 and was quickly hired by Independent Power Systems of Bozeman as a system designer/installer. Gained NABCEP Certification in 2008 and In 2012 I founded OnSite Energy with a goal of providing premier solar electric services throughout the Northern Rockies.

Having served on the board of directors for the Montana Renewable Energy Association (MREA) since 2014, I currently reside as the organization’s Vice President. As a contract instructor for Solar Energy International (SEI), I enjoy teaching the fundamentals of grid-tied and battery-based solar electric systems to students from all over the world.

My family and I reside in a net-zero energy home, powered by solar electricity, solar hot water, and wood heat. Dedicated to a lifetime of teaching, living, and working with renewable energy technologies, I am hopeful for Montana’s clean energy future…and works tirelessly to help make that future a reality.
