I've had a handful of different jobs all in the clean energy space. Currently I'm a partner at a small consulting firm and also Vice President of Policy for an energy storage company. Before that, I worked for a big clean energy company and served as renewable energy adviser to California Governors Brown and Schwarzenegger. I've spent pretty much my whole career helping to build large wind and solar projects, and now I'm working on technologies that can help us integrate more and more renewable s. My passion for renewable energy stems from the fact that I love being outside - so much so that I majored in Biology so that I could be a conservation biologist and plant trees all day. I eventually realized that policy allows me to make much bigger difference than individually planting tress for the rest of my life (though there is nothing wrong with that).
