Born and raised in Nebraska I have valued independence and self-sustainability since an early age. Growing up on our family farm I had a great work ethic instilled in me since day one. I had the natural desire to learn and figure out how things works. This desire led me down the path to my engineering and design background. I have degrees in Manufacturing Engineering and Computer Programming. These skills pair well with the ever-evolving renewable energy space, which I have been involved in since 2012. I have designed and helped build solar energy systems ranging in size from 100 watts to 300 megawatts.
