Experience

He is the recipient of two Phase I SBIR grants from the National Science Foundation. The first explored the financial possibility for using off-grid wind power and excess water from coal-bed methane operations to produce saleable hydrogen. The second created a web tool to assist utilities in assembling a portfolio of wind and solar sites that best matches their own patterns of demand. The tool, available at www.EnergyTiming.com, uses 600 different data sets and customized algorithms within an optimized math engine to conduct the analyses in less than two seconds. He is also a partner at Equilibrium Power, which explores wind and geothermal sites in the Rocky Mountain West. His prior corporate experience includes four years at Palm Inc. (the makers of the PalmPilot), where he was a consumer marketing manager and a company spokesman (“platform evangelist”) during the company’s Initial Public Offering; two years as Vice President of Business Development for PalmGear.com, a leader in the handheld software industry; and two years of consulting to the U.S. Air Force on transferring technology from federal laboratories to America’s private sector.
