I have worked with Federal, State, County, and City elected officials on land use planning, planned development, zoning, permitting, conservation law, community involvement, and environmental and ecological assessment. My experience developing available market studies with local, state, and federal planning organizations ensures finding the best use for a property. I work with residential property seller & buyers as well as commercial properties, builders & developers.My 3 promises:1. I will be on time.2. I will be brutally honest.3.

Solar hot water is an easy and economical way to do both. As the shift towards a low-carbon energy sector steadily gathers momentum, a transformation of the entire market is occurring, more businesses, industries and government institutions are turning to solar energy. Growing concerns over energy supplies, fossil fuel price volatility and climate change are accelerating this transformation. And, despite years of neglecting the solar thermal sector, policy makers are finally realizing that solar thermal energy can have an enormous impact in all of these areas.Solar water heating is a clean, environmentally friendly and affordable source of energy. It is renewable, and there are no toxic emissions!
