SunSpec Alliance (sunspec.org) is the open information standards and certification organization for the Solar Distributed Energy Resources industry. As a member of the board of directors, I share my expertise to further transform the ecosystem of solar products, services, and energy information infrastructure that will address our current challenges. SunSpec communication standards address operational requirements of solar and energy storage on the smart grid to reduce cost, promote technology innovation, and accelerate industry growth.This membership is another way I’m building the legacy of collective cooperation I want to leave for the next generation.

Blu Opportunity provides affordable, no-hidden-fee solar loans to homeowners with the goal to make residential solar more affordable and accessible.Our Mission is to empower installers to deploy more solar faster.

The Orange Button Initiative (orangebutton.io) started as a public/private partnership funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the SunSpec Alliance and more than 350 companies that contribute to its development. As the co-chair of the Orange Button Workgroup, my role is to ensure that the Orange Button taxonomy continues to address the most compelling use cases in the Distributed Energy (solar + storage) data exchange realm, and that the Orange Button web service API continues to evolve to meet the needs of the software development community.The Initiative is an open data exchange standard for the distributed solar PV industry. Orange Button enables the free flow of data between information systems used in the solar asset lifecycle to decrease long term costs and increase innovation through information models, a standard taxonomy, a standard Application Program Interface (API), and supporting compliance test suites.

I founded i-Cue Design to offer programming, technical design, and business analysis services. I designed and developed the “Navigation Activator,” a computerized method responding to a navigation cue from a user by saving the writable state of the application, and directing the computer through the Windows Operating System to perform the navigation tasks indicated by the navigation cue. I used this invention to improve conversion rates and customer loyalty for businesses.

The NASA Controlled Ecological Life Support System (CELSS) program was initiated with the premise that NASA's goal would eventually include extended duration missions with sizable crews requiring capabilities beyond the ability of conventional life support technology. As a researcher, I collected and analyzed data to evaluate the assumptions of earth-bound plant growth patterns, including using continuous light to evaluate the requirement for dark cycle processing in soybeans, and using hydroponics to evaluate the requirement for soil to support plant growth.The CELSS concept is based upon the integration of biological and physicochemical processes to construct a system which will produce food, potable water, and a breathable atmosphere from metabolic and other wastes, in a stable and reliable manner. A central feature of a CELSS is the use of green plant photosynthesis to produce food, with the resulting production of oxygen and potable water, and the removal of carbon dioxide.
