Why is solar energy important?

The climate crisis is real and happening now. The scale of the problem is enormous. We need all hands-on-deck and a large variety of solutions! Solar energy is one very important piece of the solution. We already have a giant nuclear fusion reactor (i.e., the Sun), so let's utilize it. Our company’s goal and vision is to get as much solar in the ground as possible so we can do our part in preventing a climate catastrophe.

What do you like to do for fun?

Connect with friends and family, and pretty much anything outdoors - skiing, fishing, camping, spear fishing, sailing, bowhunting, biking, running, gardening, projecting/building - you name it! As a result, I’m continuously on the hunt for more storage space!

What do you like best about developing solar?

Problem solving. Development is an art form where you’re working with a lot of different people, entities, rules, regulations, and engineering practices; throwing it onto a canvas, and making a masterpiece. There’s no straight-forward path to a successful project and you’re guaranteed to hit many roadblocks and challenges along the way. Solar development requires creative thinking, problem solving, resilience, and a variety of skills and knowledge. There’s never a boring day and I really appreciate that aspect of what I do.

What’s your favorite joke?

This is a hard one… I have had to explore the interwebs… “Talk is cheap?”.... “Have you ever talked to a lawyer?!” Ba Dum Tshhhhh

Why is solar energy important?

For me, solar energy just makes sense because the technology is financially feasible and the benefits accrue to everyday people. We have an abundance of solar energy available for harvest, it is free, and there are no emissions. We all need electricity for everyday use. As we decide where to get our power to generate electricity, solar energy has to be a part of the mix. Generating power is one of the largest sources of carbon emissions, and integrating more renewable energy into our power grid is critical to have a healthy planet for future generations. With technology improvements, the costs for solar energy have continued to decline rapidly, making solar energy as easy to adopt as ever. The benefits of adopting solar energy far outweigh the costs. These benefits accrue to landowners, consumers, and the environment for future generations.

What do you like to do for fun?

An outdoor adventure is top of the list for me. I'm lucky to call the Willamette Valley home where it is just a short drive to the mountains or the coast! I like getting out and going hiking, snow shoeing, throwing the ball with my dog on the beach, and camping. Around town, I enjoy going taking in live music, trying new restaurants, and am slowly converting my entire lawn into a garden. When I get the chance I enjoy hosting friends and family and I like to travel.

What do you like best about developing solar?

Adding value for the landowner. Whether it is utilizing under-productive farmland for a farmer or rancher, or surplus land for a school district, it is great to capture the available economic benefits. These gains become available to support other aspects of the landowner's operations.

What’s your favorite joke?

I used to be addicted to the hokey pokey... but then I turned myself around.

Why is solar energy important?

I think it’s very important to invest in solar energy because it allows us to be more energy independent, support the local economy, and build infrastructure based on carbon-free energy. I also love that solar allows for multiple uses for the land, from grazing sheep to protecting native pollinator habitat.

What do you like to do for fun?

I spend as much time as I can outdoors - hiking and backpacking in the summer, cross country skiing in the winter. When I’m not outdoors, I’m probably practicing my fiber arts - knitting, embroidery, sewing, or fabric dyeing (while bingeing my new favorite TV show).

What do you like best about developing solar?

I love being the bridge between landowners and their renewable energy goals - crossing over financial barriers, environmental regulations, and zoning laws along the way.

What’s your favorite joke?

Why did the tree install solar panels? It wanted to be a power plant!
