Steven Sample Email & Phone Number

I lead the DoD Siting Clearinghouse, which reviews over 5,000 energy-related projects every year. With the rapid expansion of alternative energy, DoD is increasingly called on to review proposed wind, solar and transmission projects for compatibility with military activities. The Secretary of Defense established the DoD Siting Clearinghouse in 2010 to provide a timely, transparent, and repeatable process that can evaluate potential impacts and explore mitigation options, while preserving the DoD mission. Most proposals clear DoD without concern, but others require further discussion to overcome compatibility issues. My main role is the management of the mitigation conversation with developers once impacts are identified. I also coordinate efforts with Federal, State and Local stakeholders in the effort to ensure military mission compatibility is considered in energy siting decisions.Prior to joining the Clearinghouse in 2013, I managed Operations Sustainment efforts for the Air Force, with a focus on similar energy compatibility efforts.

Listed skills include Dod, Military, Defense, Proposal Writing, and 10 others.
