What did you do before entering clean energy? “I’ve spent my professional career in the technology space ranging from startups to government, and community-based organizations. The 5 years in government taught me that when I have agency to make far reaching and impactful decisions I must understand the consequences of those decisions. I made it my personal mission to find ways to use technology to be of service to the broader community.”
Why should congress invest in clean energy jobs and not fossil fuel jobs? “Fundamentally it's the right thing to do. Clean energy is lower cost, it's creating more jobs, and the general public is asking for it.”
