Solar Energy Advocate | Entrepreneur | Life-Long LearnerMy passion for solar energy ignited in 2016 when I began my journey as an installer. I was fascinated by the power of the sun and its potential to create a more sustainable future. Over the years, I've continuously expanded my expertise, earning my NABCEP PVIP certification in 2020 and Kansas Journeyman License in 2023.One of my proudest achievements has been helping to scale my current solar installation company from $2 million to over $6 million in revenue within just 4 years. However, I realized that to truly make an impact, solar energy needed to be more accessible to everyone.This realization led me to found SAF Grant Services, a company dedicated to making solar affordable for small businesses and agricultural producers. By leveraging my industry knowledge and grant writing skills, I've successfully facilitated over $600,000 in federal funds to help fund solar projects. Seeing these renewable energy projects come to life and the positive impact they have on communities is incredibly rewarding. My diverse experiences, from working as an eco-tour guide in the Florida Keys to starting an urban farm with my wife, have fueled my passion for sustainability and driven me to make a positive impact on the world.If you're a solar provider looking to help your customers, or a small business or agricultural producer interested in making solar more affordable through USDA grants up to 50% of project costs, let's connect. Together, we can inspire change and lead the way in the solar industry.Specialties: Solar installation, solar design, electrical codes, grant writing, USDA REAP grant, entrepreneurship, sustainability, NABCEP PVIP, Kansas Journeyman electrician
