I've spent over 30 years working in the energy industry, and 25 working in advanced vehicles & technologies and alternative fuels research, analysis and implementation. I founded and have led East Tennessee's arm of the U.S. DOE Clean Cities Program -- the East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition -- since 2001. I've led or assisted numerous fleets in putting alternative fuels & advanced vehicle technologies to work. A major part of my work is securing grant and other kinds of funding for fleet transitions. The most recent award is a $3.6M 2020 DOE project called "DRIVE Electric USA" that encompasses 14 states and 17 Clean Cities coalitions. Having worked in the alt fuels implementation industry for over two decades, I have an advanced network of industry professionals that I am now happy to call friends. We have too many reasons why a massive transition needs to take place in fueling our transportation system, and we have the technology and expertise in the USA to make it happen. My goal is to make a difference in Tennessee and beyond by helping fleets make the connections and receive the unbiased assistance they need to transition to using cleaner, more American fuels. #electric #RNG #propane #biodiesel #ethanol #CNG
