My career began as climate activist, launching me into the wind energy industry where I now have 5+ years experience. I’m passionate about supporting the intrepid men and women who plan, develop, build, maintain, and operate wind farms around the globe, those who’ve studied this incredible natural resource, and those who play in what Lyall Watson called "Heaven’s Breath”.
